Hundreds of Bank of Ireland customers rushed to ATMs across the country Tuesday night after a technical glitch allowed them to withdraw up to $1,000 in money they didn’t have in their accounts, according to local reports.
Cars lined up outside the Bank of Ireland location in Lisduggan at 10 p.m. where customers were cashing in on the seemingly “free” cash, local station WLR reported.
One person told the outlet that they withdrew more than $1,000 from their account — more than they had in their checkings. Another said they cashed out $500.
Ireland’s national police, the Garda Síochána, told the Independent that it was aware of an “unusual volume of activity” at ATMs across the county.
An IT error with the online app allowed customers to transfer up to $1,000 from their Bank of Ireland accounts into a Revolut account — even if their balances were near zero, according to WLR. They could then withdraw the cash from an ATM.
