Banking Glitch in Ireland , Lets Customers Withdraw
Money They Don’t Have.
On Aug. 15, a technological glitch caused
an outage at the Bank of Ireland (BOI). .
It allowed customers to transfer up to
$1,090.20 to their accounts via the bank's app
and website, even if they had insufficient funds. .
That money could then be withdrawn
from an ATM, CBS News reports. .
Many people attempted to capitalize on the error, and others weren't able to access their accounts.

Haven't been able to access my
account all day which is ridiculous.
How are people meant to buy food
or other necessities if our cards
won't even work or can't check
our bank balances?!, BOI customer, via X.
The issue has since been resolved.
The BOI issued an apology and warned that any funds that were withdrawn "over normal limits...
will be debited" from users' accounts.
This isn't the first time that the Irish lender
has had these issues, CBS News reports. .
Here we go again!! Has bank
of Ireland no contingency plan.
Your app has been down
twice in the last month!!!, BOI customer, via X
