PAnaceA7: Sometimes it's good to go through the money If you can't count. Their are some Evil Bankers that mix 500 notes with 1000 note In the same casset so when the machine is paying you he wil pay you 500naira instead of 1k 1 Like |

This is known as partial dispense error. Usually hard to work out from d back end, but if the custodians of d machine are diligent and manage d ATM as they should, they would detect fairly early that someone was short paid. They should know by the next day. My advice is: Lay your complaint early. Some people wait till about 2 months before complaining about a dispense error. Do you know the volume of transactions an ATM processes daily? Imagine 2 months. 1 Like |

It's just shows that Nigerians don't truth an ATM just like we don't truth the people who are in government or were in government. |

It happened to me around 2010 / 2011. i was at first bank mobile bank infront of Ogudu police station at Kosofe LG in lag. It was around 7AM cos i was already on my way to work. I withdrew 10K but i observed it was to handy when i took it from the machine. i counted and discovered it was only 5k but i was actually debited 10K. i was puzzled. so i tried to withdraw another 20k but it dispensed 10K. Then i knew something was wrong.It also happened to other customers that tried to withdraw. I had to wait till 8AM when they resumed to lodge a complain and they told me to fill a form which i did and left for work. Around 10 AM, I got a call from their customer care apologizing and begging me seriously that the mistake is from them and shortly my account was credited with what was debited and never dispensed. in my mind, i knew some of their I.T guys might get a querry for making such a silly mistake inputing wrong amount to dispense in that branch. 1 Like |

Sterling bank ATM in idimu, Lagos gave me 7500 instead of 10k. I'm sure it was the handwork of whoever loaded cash in the machine. Instead of 10 1000 Naira notes, I got 5 1000 Naira notes and 5 500 Naira notes. I complained but till today, I have not been refunded. 1 Like |

OlowoB: So as recently as 2008, people were loaning out their cards with passwords abi? If i hear. And no one was seeing him withdraw cos it was hidden, abi? You can lie for africa. Anyway, my atm used to pay me 19k every midnight. Thats everyday. This was 2002 or 2003. Then it was ATMC that had d most machines- atm consortium n their machines wrre always down. And u couldnt use an interswitch machine on atmc anyway. So i was always all over school n lagos looking for a blinking machine. So i got 19k(which was my final balance before it started overpaying me) for more than a month. Then i got greedy and paid in 60k, so i would be getting the maximum allowable balance everyday. Then...it ended. Talk about killing the goose that lays the golden egg. We werr d early adopters of technology and as it is with any such technologies, you either lose or gain wen u r an early adopter. |

In the US, it's a blessing in disguise. U can recover all of your money by calling the owner. Just tell them that your money got stuck in the dispenser. Usually only a small portion gets stuck, but that's their problem not yours. |
Re: Has The ATM Ever Short-paid Anyone Before? by ifenadi(m): 8:50am On Jun 08, 2016 |
Yes, ATM has short paid me once. I withdrew 10k and I was paid in 500 naira bills. When I counted the money, it was just 10 pieces of 500 naira bills- 5k less the actual amount. I know it was a fault of the ATM custodian. He loaded 500 naira notes into 1000 note carrister. When I contacted my bank, the balance was paid back to my account within few minutes. Ever since I count my notes especially whenever I am paid 500 naira notes |
