Santander Bank mistakenly paid a total of 130 million pounds (175 million dollars or 13.2 billion rubles) to its customers in the UK.
75 thousand erroneous transactions affected about 2 thousand physical and legal clients of the bank, CNN reports. It is noteworthy that they received an unexpected surprise on Christmas Day on December 25. However, the amount will still have to be returned, the bank says.
“We regret that due to a technical problem, some payments from our corporate clients were incorrectly duplicated on the recipients’ accounts,” Santander said in a statement.
In the coming days, the bank intends to cancel all erroneous transactions.
