Billion-Dollar Bank’s ATM Glitch Triggers Mad Rush for Cash As Machine Spits Out Double the Requested Amount
A London-based NatWest bank ATM caused a commotion as customers hurried to withdraw cash due to a malfunction. The machine dispensed double the requested amount, prompting people to line up for the unexpected windfall. A NatWest representative attributed the glitch to a one-off manual error, which has since been rectified. It's uncertain if those who received extra cash will keep it, raising the possibility of legal action by the bank under the Theft Act 1968. This incident follows a previous glitch in September when NatWest customers reported missing deposits, swiftly resolved by the bank. NatWest, one of the UK's largest banks, has 960 branches and 3,400 ATMs nationwide.
