Fintech Apps Activate Subscriptions Without Consent and Block Account Deletion

The Albert fintech app transferred funds to savings and activated a paid subscription without explicit user consent, then prevented account closure until small residual balances cleared — a process taking weeks. Customer support refused refunds for charges the user never knowingly agreed to. This dark pattern of silent subscription activation combined with closure barriers traps users in unwanted paid tiers with no practical exit path.
