Title: Mistake during a transfer Post by: shipitgood on May 28, 2015, 12:43:26 PM If when you are doing a bank transfer say you get 1 digit wrong does any1 know what would happen? If it was an invalid number, it would return to your account I guess. But what if the account number was an actual real. 1 ? I'm that case would the person be able 2 get there money back

If that person has already seen the money in there and withdrawn/moved it on then i think its gg money & the bank can attempt to recoup money at a later date?

Just re-read my post and it made my eyes bleed as well. I've only just woken up and I am, shall we say, "hazy" after last night. |
