'..charles was able to withdraw money from James account at the village market,nairobi Equity bank on moi day. luckily he found out james' A/C no. on the slip and deposited all his money on 12th oct,and would wish to apologise to james...' was just wondering if this has been the case,the numerous complaints in sk( cant recall the threads) could be attributed to this. what if charles wasnt the good type and decided to keep the cash?how many such occurences have occured and gone unreported? finally,is it that the technology is becoming obsolete or its lack of upgrading and/or maintenance on the part of EB?

When my salary was paid,went to an ATM machine and found that i had more money than my salary. Withdrew a portion of it. Was later caled by the bank informing me that there was a mix-up between my account and another customers account. ctually the amount i withdrew was from that other persons account not mine. I never got any proper explanation luckily enough I had not wiped the account clean. There's no hurry in Kenya!

Now let say your a/c number is 0123456 and the person doing the linking the card interchanges the last two digits,you will be able to make the withdrawal from that a/c if it exist.

Rank: Elder Joined: 6/19/2008 Posts: 4,268		@palto Unfortunately,if the bank makes a mistake and credits your account with more money than you expected - say salary,you withdraw all of it and use it,and for some reason,you can be able to explain that you expected more money than your salary e.g you had applied for loan or expected someone to pay you using that account during the same period,and you withdrew not knowing that the bank had made an error,then the bank is the looser.... they cant accuse you of anything. They can only negotiate with you on how you will repay back (mostly at your terms) with no interest rate charged..... thats according to the laws of banking but this is Kenya Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

Nairoberry		#12 Posted : Friday, October 16, 2009 9:22:00 AM
Rank: Member Joined: 9/24/2009 Posts: 20		The 'article' had very limited information. How was he able to withdraw? He says he got the account number from the slip,where did he get the names? My ATM slip does not show my account number or name but some show...where would he have run to,out of country? Because of how much? Most people in EB dont set high ATM limits plus most ATMs have hidden or visible cameras if not on the lobby. Nairoberry-'The darker the berry the sweeter the juice'
