I'm surprised identity verification by logging into your bank and/or carrier isn't more common in the US.
They have your data anyway, it's much harder to impersonate somebody this way, it doesn't require the verifying company to hire any workers to do the verification, you could even do it without the site you're verifying yourself at learning anything about you.
