Google probably tracks all clicks on links in mail. It is easy to see that unsubscribe was clicked, and then more mail that you mark as spam came.

That's the thing — it's my bank and it does have transactional mail too. I don't expect Google to be able to tell between those.

It's nudging me towards switching banks.

I don't use google mail much, but fastmail seems to be capable of making fine-grained judgements on transactional/promotional mail coming from the same address. I reckon google will be able to do it too, certainly easier than changing banks.
