After you close your Neo Financial account, the company may still retain your data, such as your credit card information, card number and personal details.
Deleting your data can prevent scammers from accessing your personal information in case of a data breach, as your credentials could be used to sign up for credit cards or loans. You may also want to prevent third-party organizations from getting hold of your data without your consent.
