For comparison: if I make a payment over the internet my bank sends me 
an SMS with a 5 digit number to enter. Not logging off is dumb but they 
won't be able to transfer money. One of the complications is when you 
don't have access to your mobile phone. Then you can not pay a certain 
type of bills (at least it is much more difficult and at least involves 
changing security settings. I have never need to do that).
