The whole point is that everything is in an official ledger, that can be argued over in front of a judge.

Best you can do is say you don’t consent for your data to be sold. Find a smaller bank or a credit union where they have to give a shit about their customers.

Doesn't your credit card provider still get all your data?

E.g. doesn't visa/mastercard know about every transaction? They charge fees and they have a fraud prevention systems. So, I think, they do, right?
