@techievivek FYI I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors.

It's a feature, not a bug.

Disconnecting from a policy when in PENDING or OPEN state doesn't remove it from the account anymore. It just detaches it from the policy. So, when re-entering the same bank account, you don't need to redo it all. It just attaches the existing one.

If you actually delete it from your account from your personal settings, you'll have to redo it all, as before.

@m-natarajan seeing as this is a feature not a bug, do you agree the TR steps need to be updated to avoid this being reported again?
