Most banks have a cookie, visual two-factor, or "object" (like flash) downloaded to the client computer that links the computer to the customer. This "just satisfies" any regulatory requirement. Until the government regulators mandate hardware tokens most banks won't put this in. Wish they did though! :-) The reason most banks don't jump on two-factor "token" is because it would be a support nightmare..not to mention the backend cost (even if the customer has to pay for the token).
