Unless they're calling you to see how they can help you today.
Then they'll happily announce they're from <some> bank and would I like to tell them my mother's maiden name or whatever to establish security - i.e who *I* am.
Last time this happened I told the 'bank' - how do I know who *you* are? And then told them that I wasn't going to continue with the conversation.
And that will be the 'paranoid' way I will handle all such further calls in the future. Maybe then they'll get serious about protecting my interests as much as they're interested in protecting theirs!
