How is that even possible? How would the person get the code to access the bank? Anyways no one has ever done this with my phone number.
It is absolutely not possible because the person will not be able to access the code called OTP code which the bank will send to your phone. It is possible if the person have access to your phone.

No, this hasn't happened to me. I don't think it is possible unless the person is form, your household and you have access to the phone number

No, it never happened to me. It might happen if your account number is exposed to a family member or a close friend. It is also against the law.
It never happened to me. In fact, here, we cannot open an account with just a phone number. You have to show your ID card as well.
