I closed a bank account in the UK in about 2001. I emptied it at an atm then walked into the bank to close it.

The cashier gave me all the cash I’d already taken from the account.

In the US, they would reopen your account without telling you and start charging you fees and/or interest on the amount they overpaid. I know this because it happened to me last year when American Express mistakenly refunded a credit to me twice when closing an account (one check and one bank transfer). I never even cashed the check but apparently that didn’t make a difference to them.

I really hope this is true, always nice to hear about the robbing happening in the opposite direction.

I gave the money back when I realised what had happened, which was about 5 minutes later.

Do you mean you got your balance twice?

Yes. I gave it back.
