I suppose mobile banking is less secure than regular internet

I'm not sure what is the weakness in mobile banking, compared to
regular internet banking, where both of them have a secure device to
generate code for transactions ?
Let's say somebody stole your phone, what can he/she do without the
secure device that's registered to your bank account ?

Well you can't register to listen to SMSes, that hook just doesn't
exist. So
if you rely on proving who someone is by sending something to a
specific
phone (ie making use of the telephone companys vast network ability
to
locate one device with that particular SIM card in it at that point
in time
anywhere in the world), SMS is kind of about the only way to do it.
I took a look to see what happens when you're running an app and an
SMS
comes in, with a URL on it . it's not totally pretty, you get to
option to
'reply', which closes your app, or 'close' which closes the SMS. So
the best
you could do like that is hit reply, close your app, hit the link
in the SMS
which opens it up again, you'd need a quick-start app for that.
The only other way is to have done the SMS thing way in advance and
cached a
token on the phone you use at the time direct to the server, but
that's not
very good security, the token would go with the phone, swap SIM
cards and
someone else is now you.
