Bunq, a Dutch bank, contacted one of their customers through an in-app helpdesk functionality, after that customer reverted removal of a section describing a controversy on the Wikipedia page of the bank.
The original controversy (which was well published in Dutch media) was reason enough for me to avoid banking with #bunq. Apparently, things can get worse. If you have an account with them, you may want to consider alternatives.
