If your bank made a financial mistake in your favour ...?

Question

... what would you do? Tell? Keep it quiet?

Answer 1

Tell it...because it will eventually catch up with you and you have to pay the money back. Now if the teller puts  a extra 100 in my hand then too bad so sad for them.  

Answer 2

If I learned anything from playing Monopoly, it's that when there's a bank error in your favor, you get to keep it.

Answer 3

I'd let them know, because if they figure it out, they'll just take it back out of your account which wouldn't be good because you'd most likely already spent it.

Answer 4

They did and it took two weeks to get them to remove the money.  I would never keep quiet, that is stealing and eventually they discover their error

Answer 5

~~They did once and I told them. Somehow when I was depositing $2,000.00 in cash, duringa conversation with  the teller I managed to scoop the money back up and put it in my bag. I didn't find it until the following Monday (this happened on a Friday), when I went to make another deposit. The first thing I thought of  was "the poor teller will be fired!" So I called the bank and asked if they had a teller out of balance, which they said yes and told me how much. So I took the money back. I was treated like royalty from that day on, so Karma paid me back tenfold. They never charged me a NSF charge when I messed up our checking account, and we've been with them for years. I felt so good about what I did, I have never regretted it. If I would have just kept the money, I never would have had a peaceful nights sleep again!

Answer 6

I'd tell them, because it's the right thing to do.  But if you don't, when they catch it they'll make you give it back, and if you don't they'll sue you for it and win.
