I’m a Canadian living in Germany with bank accounts in both countries. Since living in Germany, I’ve been coming across the problem that sometimes my Canadian bank account will require me to enter a security code sent to a Canadian phone number (I don’t have a current phone number in Canada so I rely on my relative to receive these messages and relay the code to me–so tedious!!) before I can log-in. I can’t use my German phone number to be associated with my Canadian bank account… but I’m kind of stumped as to what other options I could try.

Has anyone else had this issue while living abroad and if so, how did you solve it?
