Serial switchers, what to do with left over login details?

yourlocalcheesemonger

Having done a number of switches to take advantage of offers I'm now left with several banking apps where I can log in but there are no accounts as they've been switched over. Do I just delete the app and keep my log in infot, or contact the bank to delete my details? I suppose if I open an account with them again I'll have to remember those details if I leave it as is. Thanks.

I leave them as is, plenty of spare storage on phone.

All the login details are in a password manager and the empty account details are in a spreadsheet.

I usually delete the apps and when I sign up again most tend to merge or link into the same profile if I re-register.

As someone said you could save the login details to your password manager or keep any emails that have any customer number on them. 

If you need a new account again and you have a closed Lloyds Banking Group bank app then logging in and clicking on apply will open a new account without a credit search but if it’s just for a burner account then they have been know. To ban people from doing this so I would only recommend having a burner account with Chase as an additional account with them as no extra account appears on your credit file and no credit searches.

I delete the apps but keep the log in details in a password manager if for whatever reason I need to log on.

Handy to keep the details if the bank suddenly releases a good current or savings account to open quickly.
