A glitch with Bank of Ireland's online app reportedly allowed customers with no money to transfer funds and withdraw it from an ATM.

The technical blunder meant people were able to put money into a Revolut digital account and then withdraw it from a cash point.

Some claimed that they were able to access as much as €1,000 (£859), but the bank insisted the daily withdrawal limit is €500 (£429), according to Independent.ie.

Various videos circulating on social media showed long queues at ATMs in various cities, as well as some police guarding pay points.

The bank confirmed it was working on a technical issue that was impacting multiple services, including the mobile app and online banking portal, 365Online, on Tuesday.

It warned customers that any money transferred or withdrawn over normal limits "will be debited from their account".

"We are conscious customers may not be able to check balances, but should not withdraw/transfer if they are likely to become overdrawn," it said in a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Apologising for the disruption, the bank said both the app and 365Online, were back working on Wednesday, and that overnight payments "may appear throughout the day".

"We are aware that the technical issue meant some customers were able to withdraw or transfer funds above their normal limits. These transfers and withdrawals will be applied to customers' accounts today," it said in a statement.

"We urge any customer who may find themselves in financial difficulty due to overdrawing on their account to contact us."

The issue comes after another IT outage at the bank in June, according to Independent.ie.

This did not result in people getting access to funds they did not have in their accounts.

If it happens in my dear country Nigeria, your guess is as good as mine, Yahoo boys, and co would finish the said Bank.

Wow

My dear people of Ireland it's you guys luck!
This can and will never happen in Nigeria.

Cash Bonanza!

wow, wow ,wow....if this happens here, I comment my reserve

They would be riots on the streets ,if it happened in Nigeria.
Ordinary petrol when it is at 65 naira caused chaos whenever petrol tanker overturned in a community.

True definition of enjoy while it lasts....lolz

lexy2014:
And you think the bank won't get its money back?

Obviously you didn't read the part where it was stated that the glitch allowed for more withdrawal than withdrawal limits

lexy2014:
Obviously you read just one line and missed the following:

While it last whatsapp group obviously will not accommodate those that withdrew with zero balance>>> how the financial institutions will get their money back is left to Irish and monetary policies.
Thanks for engaging.

yom2:
there will always be an audit to retrieve d funds

Wittyness

Why can't it happen in Nigeria or anywhere else for that matter?

.

If this had happened in Nigeria, some white ass worshippers would have told us how this will never happen in the west, how law abiding and honest the white man is, how they would have all waited patiently at home until the glitch is fixed before going to the bank. But una see am ba, na Oyibo people dey queue for free money laiso. Nobody no like awoof.

If this happen in naija even the gods will queue up
E get why!

When will this happen in Naija

It once happened in my sch. Click 10k, 20k will be withdrawn. But intercontinental bank nab them. Printed their names and pics

This type mistake can never happen in Nigeria,, instead na d machine go withhold your cash and card join- Nigeria is always exempted from good things happening around d world

Manna from bank has fallen

Your account will be -€1000 by next day.

It has happened before, alausa.

The machine was loaded with 1k denomination but programmed as 500naira. So 1k was dispensed as 500naira

This can never happen in sane climes

Uba where are you

When will this happen in naija 😁😁😁

exactly, that's how brainwashed the blacks are.

Meaning that in spite of the "glitch", there was still a limit

This looks more to me like a helicopter drop.
In developed countries, glitches like these hardly occurs and stay unresolved within minutes let alone hours!

Netherlands has just slid into recession due to inflation and all countries that prioritize their citizens welfare are doing everything inside and outside the book to help their citizens and keep the economy alive.

The best deceptive con is the one where you are made to think that you are the wise one (you taking an advantage of a "loop" ) .

What's tha business?

Wouldn't the deficit reflect on their said accounts, not exactly free

So, no be only Naija people that like awoof things?

Btw, no free lunch even in freetown

These people are even civilized; at least they are on a queue whilst withdrawing the free money.

Imagine something like this happening in Lagos, that ATM would have become a crime scene due to the number of people that would have lost their lives there. People will kill themselves to withdraw, policemen too will kill people to collect their share of the loot.

Miracle no dey tire Jesus!
