I can tell you how it works in Sweden.

Scenario 1: Hard token
- The user go to their banks and gets a token created in a backend process.
- To actually use it requires download/installation of proprietary middleware
  that typically doesn't run on all platforms

Scenario 2: Soft token
The user surfs to the banks CA-site and
 - Download/installs proprietary middleware
 - Authenticates with an OTP token (standard stuff in the EU)
   and gets a certificate through a proprietary process which
   presumably does a PKCS #10.  The process also involves
   setting a PIN according to the bank's policy

Scenario 3: Mobile BankID
Similar to Scenario 2 but due to the inability to use browser plugins
in iOS and Android, based on proprierary "apps" with hard-coded URLs.

Important note: Neither the platform/browser key-store nor the enrollment
system (like <keygen>) are used in Scenario 2 and 3 since these (among
many things) do not support PINs.

The Google Wallet builds on an entirely different platform (no links whatsoever
to <keygen> and friends) which indeed supports "bank technology" and more.

To use it they need to install middleware and browser plugins which typically only works on some OSes.
