Check if you had a subscription set up linked to it....
Click on the profile tab (icon next to log out) > Click on payments third option along on the thick blue band top of page > "manage pre-approved payments''.
Also make sure your preferred payment method is not that bank account.
Click on the profile tab (icon next to log out) > Click on payments third option along on the thick blue band top of page > second down click on update next to your preferred way to pay and check its not that bank account.

Thanks. that helped a bit.
I DID indeed have some subsscriptions. So I cancelled them all or moved to my new bank account.
I still get the error "Cannot remove bank account. Try again later" when trying to remove it.
I guess I will have to keep trying onve per day over the next few weeks to see if it works.
( Top Tip . They should change the error msg to something useful such as "Cannot remove bank account, check if you have any subscriptions linked to this account". Or something 🙂
Kudos to you anyway.
