I have the same problem and didn't use it because of their scummy marketing practices.

I uninstalled the app thinking I could just log in to the website to cancel it but no luck, you have to phone.

Is there a simple way to submit GDPR deletion requests like this? They're being deliberately obtuse with closing accounts. They deserve to lose their licences.

My account was deleted without any intervention from myself. I assumed it was because I had not used the account for some time and the balance was < 1 euro?

Like others have mentioned, I found their customer service to be worse than useless but kept the account as a stand-by.

Obviously, since I no longer have an account, the options for submitting a GDPR deletion are somewhat limited.

A GDPR request may not go far because banking regulations supersede GDPR when it comes to retaining records that might be required for financial investigations. I believe in a UK there's a requirement that they hold onto details of any transactions done for at least eight years.
I understand the banking requirements but in theory they should only be keeping certain information for security practices and scrubbing it from everywhere else (e.g. marketing/analytics etc)
