There's nothing bad in counting your money because human error can happen while loading the cassettes. I witnessed one when my boss made a mistake in re-loading the machine and it's one of our security guys that alerted us after it short-paid one customer for 5k instead of 10k. |

Heheeheheh ATM's can short pay you, that's also dispense error If you think its safe to count your cash before leaving the ATM stand pls do count to be sure its correct and also check for fake notes. Report issues immediately to the bank before leaving |

There are two scenarios were an ATM can short pay or over pay you.... 1.. Custodian Error: In this case the custodian slots 500 notes in the cash canisters of 1000 nd reverse, it will short pay some and over pay some since the machines software only detects the cannisters. Also if the custodian fails to do due diligence on money given to him to load by not checking if there are other denomination e.g checking if there is a 500 note in a pack of 1000's nd reverse. 2.Partial dispense: A very rare occurrence but it happens, the machine counts ur total money but a failure to pick either one or two of the notes as it goes to the dispense mechanism. 90% is usually a note and this can be easily rectified by the custodian if he regularly balances his "till" account. in otherwards, these are the types of Nigerians that count ATM dispensed cash: * The Poor *Those with trust issues *The Stingy aka "Aka Gum" |

pattyphil: It has happened to me o. This was Sterling's bank operated ATM besides a popular lounge called TUSCANI, along Obi Wale road, Rivers State. We saw 2 guys complaining of being short paid, instead of 20k, it was 17k. I felt maybe theirs was much, that's why it short-paid them. I wanted to withdraw 5k and whoollaa, it was 3k5. I tried to call their customer care line but to no avail...well, it wasn't my cash, so the owner just say we should forget it, as it was on a Sunday, in December...so, never say never in Nigeria. |

bigerboy200: How is the bank going to reject the claim? an investigation will be done and the ATM will be inspected. If you count the money there, there is a CCTV watching you. if an ATM under dispenses, they will know. ATMs are not perfect. http://www.bankrate.com/finance/banking/atms-mistake.aspx 1 Like |
