Well,

you're right because the process sounds antiquated, but for them it's the most trustworthy way and they seem to fulfill 
their security policy. 

Every step like official announcements, bank statements or password changes that can not be displayed within the 
banking-portal, must use another (trustworthy) media. This can be snail mail, Post-Ident or in your turn you have to 
appear at their office.

Cheers,

Christian
