Ah, this is interesting - you have a centralized entity that handles the transactions? This is indeed what must be the reason for the widespread of the availability.
In France I know that Fortuneo gives that possibility, but for instance Boursorama or Credit Mutuel do not.
It is funny how the banking is different between countries in the EU. France is slowly making its way though the 90's while Poland uses a phone based transaction system (BLIK). I always saw Portugal as bing very modern in that way (you had chips on your identity cards for years, we just got them this year, with the new credit-card format of id cards)
