Sum of money appeared in account

[Pho3nix]

Hi guys,

A substantial amount of money just appeared in my bank account. No idea where from :\
Anyone know what the protocol is to get it reversed? Going to call Standard Bank tomorrow to query the transaction.

Had the same issue some time ago. Was 2 eft's into my FNB credit card account totaling over R60k. Tried contacting fnb but they couldn't help me. About 6 weeks later the transactions were just reversed with no warning or notification. Fortunately I just left the funds there as i knew the bank would sort it out eventually.

Possibly some eth rather

Are the transactions not showing any reference numbers, wonder if FNB can be able to trace which banks and even company/individual are they from.

What fund range 1-10k or more?

 

[Pho3nix]

Transaction from Capitec. Single transfer. Over R50k

Main transacting account so would be slightly annoying tbh. Are you with Standard Bank as well?

Edit : See into your FNB CC. I need to start reading properly

Not with standard bank. Mine was into my FNB credit card account.

Seriously though, if you do get a random call claiming its an error and asking you to refund don’t do it! Know of a couple of instances where funds were paid into accounts and people did transfers only for the funds to never clear.

let the banks sort it out.

Best is to get incontact with the bank on Saturday as tomorrow its a public holiday.

I would struggle to spend money which i don't know where it comes from.

 

[GrootVoet]

Spend it quickly.

Transfer it into a different account and the take it from there

My wife said the same thing that she would take a portion of it and transfer to another account. Lol

 

[Pho3nix]

Looking at it.. might be someone's salary :/ Ref number looks like an employee number

That's why you fail at Mafia...

Too true

Op, I'm assuming you've already transferred the money into your savings pocket or other interest bearing instrument so you can at least milk the interest while you can?

Might as well, granted it's probably only going to earn you R5 a day

I wonder if the bank will honour the interest earned?
