Voice authentication.

HSBC is the bank that decided Two-Factor Authentication was too much hassle for its customers and now only requires their dongle for things like setting up payments. You can login, view all sorts of financial information without it. They also, and this is the one that really gets me, are really pushing hard on voice authentication. Convince the machine you sound enough like the target and in you go!
