I believe banks have up to 8 years or something to take that money back if they do find out about it in the future. Would suck if you kept it and spent it all and have to cough it back up again. But good on you for letting them know  | |

You guys remember that Honger couple that fled NZ for the Motherland when they accidentally got 100x their loan amount (some $50m instead of $500k) deposited into their account?  | oh yah, it was stupid

that guy took all the money out
the guy arrested, and in the court, he said that he kept money for the bank

You're going to need to find somebody to get you a new identity and somehow transfer that money into an account that can't be traced back to your old self.

They have rules about carrying large amounts of cash across the border but if you have a $100k watch nobody will ask questions.
For a couple hundred grand you can get a home and citizenship in a small Caribbean country.

how can they proof that the person noticed there was actual extra cash in the bank?
some people just continue to swipe their debit card and visa, and their pay cheque goes automatically into the bank account.
Hell just like how some people miss their oil change

Also - they take their interest too. | This is EXACTLY why I said eariler, get written proof that the Bank has solved the error.
You don't want to be punished 5 years down the road when the bank calls you and say you own them interest for 5 years, on 100K.

It is illegal if you don't report it. However, it seems like some members on RS got scammed by ATM errors, so if I were in your g/f's situation, the only thing preventing me from keeping the money is that I don't want any trouble with the bank. The world is cruel and unfair, so if some people got scammed by digital error and they didn't get compensated, I don't think it matters if it's the bank's loss and it's our gain.

I'm surprised no one has questions about the $100,000 that your gf had in her savings account. that's an incredible savings!

me too!!!! i reported it and a few days later they said they wouldn't reimburse me because the "original" card was used that day. sure it's the location i go to all the time but i know that on that very day that the $100 was withdrawn i wasn't even in Canada! i took a one day trip to the states... no money back.
anyways, did anyone not hear about the couple who fled to another state after the bank mistakenly gave them xxxx amount? i can't remember the amount but they withdrew everything.. needless to say they got caught and are now in jail. they'll find you!

transfering 100K would raise some red flags to the account managers and corporate security.

not if you're saving for a apartment / house. that's 20% of only 500k. 500k doesn't get you much in GVRD.
