oche_ejemb: Some of you are just here claiming expert on stuff you know nothing about.

When dealing with any kind of computer, you must be aware that errors that no one could have foreseen can happen.

The same way an ATM can overpay you, is the same way it can under pay (people have already given countless scenarios, easiest is when who ever loaded the machine has put in the wrong denomination).
Is it not better to count the money before you pocket it and leave the vicinity of the ATM.
And if you have been mispayed wont it make sense to see how your account balance has been affected?

Someone has already mentioned the PARTIAL DISPENSE option when resolving ATM issues. Do you know more than the very designers of these systems who admit that
this is a possible occurrence and have put in the measures to handle this kind of exception?

only illiterates do so . . if u really understand how an ATM works, then you would be wasting ur energy counting,
the machine has a sensor that pushes each bill into the dispatch tray, one bill at a time
another infra-red sensor scans each bill for thickness. this means if two bills are stuck together, it would not come out
rather it would pass into a reject bin. any bill that is badly torn is also passed into the reject bin
it does this so perfectly, it could never go wrong.
the only mistake an ATM could do, is debiting your account without paying
and it's not the machine's fault. it's caused by a timeout in network while transmitting banking messages from the machine to the relay server.

If at all you have banker brothers, then they must have gone through school, but the school never went through them.



If the circuit board is faulty, the calculator's power won't come on

@all
NL members are mostly cave-men. If there's a problem with the ATM dispensing incorrect cash (higher or lower), it's not from the physical machine.
The physical ATM works flawlessly. Tell ur presido, Goodluck, to improve your network performance. Most problems arises when the messages are being trasnmitted.
Most of the ppl blabbing dont even know how it works.
There's a super computer located in the machine that does send the atm number, and encrypted pin, to the relay server.
The relay server is located at the ATM'S provider building. If the atm is located inside a bank, then the relay server is located right there in the bank
that's why most people prefer to use atms inside the bank's building at their particular branch.
If it's a roadside ATM, then the relay server is probably located at INTERSWITCH office (or the manufacturer of VERVE cards) depends on the type of ATM card you're using.
From there, the message is transmitted to your banking for confirmation of account details and balance.
Then it goes back to the server (INTERSWITCH OR VERVE head office) and back to the CPU . . the machine inside the ATM compartment.
once there's a glitch in network along these path, en error often occurs, e.g. debit without pay, more cash, less cash etc.


I bet your brothers at the bank do not know this, rubbish.

from the comments seen so far, i can rightly conclude that your ATMachines (when short-paying, or otherwise) a customer is not an error.
It was actually intended to do so. You should actually check the corrupt ATM technician, supervisor and Bank manager
for physical manipulation. But i repeat, without human manipulation, the probability of an atm f!!cking up on it's own accord is less than 0.0000000001%

Basic:
If we all share your kind of mindset, we'll all check soft drinks for dirts after buying them before drinking them, we'll all request to see how neat Mr Biggs kitchens are before buying from them, we'll all check that each page of a brand new dictionary is intact before leaving the bookshop, in fact, when we receive a delivery report after sending a text message, we'll still call the recipients to confirm, when our car fuel meters indicate low fuel, we'll still dip a long tiny stick in the tank to confirm...
Stop thinking like the early man!

adefash:
you complain to the bank.of cause there can be mistake on the part of the custodian,loading 500 in 1000 tray.you have to complain to the bank.there are some errors whose cause can be established.u have to count your money even if u have to step aside for others to use the atm while u count it.i'm an atm engineer and i'm speaking as a professional.no system is perfect.

methodman: Well...i do so often just to see if d machine fit overpay me...lol

Super1759: if you leave the bank and come back.you have no case.but if you report to the security immediately. You will be attended to

logica: And what do you have to prove you didn't come to the bank premises with the fake bills already on you? You see, it's just a matter of chance. You can get your money back if you are lucky.

Super1759: When I was on IT in a bank.one evening we loaded all the machine to serve till morning,around 10pm.the security man called my oga that the 2 atms in front is out of cash.later we got to know that the atm was over paying and guys rushed home spreading the goodnews and that's how the atm had automatic queue and finished the money in 4hours. The mistake was the atm custodian loaded. 1000bills in 500 caset.

Moreover its wise to go through the money dispensed from atm to check counterfeit as well. I have been a victim,if you leave the bank and come back.you have no case.but if you report to the security immediately. You will be attended to

ebamma: just last week in the uk,an atm paid people double the amount the requested,if such mistakes can happen in a uk atm,how do you expect me to trust the nigerian atms

afolabom:
How i go dey count money in front ATM.
Even if e no complete who u wan complain to?

Super1759: if you have the fake note.walk into the bank and meet the person incharge.it will be changed.if the bank is closed.meet the security man and lay the complain.he wil defend you when you come.everything that happens in bank is recorded.so the evidence that you withdrew money is there.its no case bro

swaggerific: Sometimes some of the money gets stuck in the "dispenser"...as in the money will come out but a piece of it will be in the atm. And you can easily forget grabbing it. For me, I count my money ohhh...dont want to hear stories about my money after hustling all day and all night for

OtunbaGm:
@Basic

I have few friends like dat. One of dem, u can give him anyting to eat or drink witout checking it in details like checking d expiry date on gala bought in go-slow!

Crazy peeps still exist.
Infact there is one crazy auditor in my office that refuse to marry a woman cos he demanded for receipt for the bride price he just handed over to his in-law. D man was like no receipt, he said they sud return his money and cancel the wedding!!!

ebamma: na naija we dey no be europe,u never can tell wetin naija atm fit do.

ITbomb:
and it was done.
The silly topic made the front page

mygee33: For me de question is...even if its not complete, what do u think you can do.
I just don't count mine!!!

dani1luv: It depends! We have different types of atm!

IGBO ATM - Would always wanna collect commission!

YORUBA ATM - You must kneel before the atm to thank it, else µ e no go dispense all

HAUSA ATM - Hausa's nor deh get atm card jor

So why won't I wanna count my cash? I dehcraze?! What if the atm I intend using is is igbo?? 10% commission for sure!


My two cents!!
