The Bank of Ireland apologized, on Wednesday, after fixing a technical fault that allowed customers to withdraw or transfer funds whose value exceeds that available in their accounts.

As a result of the holidays, long lines formed in front of some cash machines on Tuesday, which continued until the night as the news spread on social media, which led to the police being called.

Some reports stated that customers who did not have any money in their accounts were able to withdraw an amount of up to 1,000 euros ($1,100).

The bank warned customers that the money that was withdrawn or transferred, including amounts that exceed the normal limits, would be deducted from their accounts, which would plunge them into debt.

When announcing the fix, the bank said, “Payments made in accounts made at night may appear during the day. We sincerely apologize for the mess this outage caused. We know it was far below the standards customers expect from us.”

AskAboutMoney.com founder Brendan Burgess said the bank should improve its information systems. But he added, “If you know that you do not have the money, but you withdraw 1,000 euros … this is fraud. This has nothing to do with the failure of the bank’s systems.”

The Irish central bank had previously imposed fines on the Bank of Ireland, due to deficiencies in its information systems, and said it was monitoring the repercussions of the malfunction. link
