I haven't yet decided what to do with my new found wealth but it will definitely go towards something worthwhile.
Maybe towards the frame I'm putting the actual paper letter in sent via post. |
So funny....considering it probably cost them around $2 to mail it to you.
Can't find verification of this story on the internet as it was back in the 90's but im sure a whichbank employee got busted transferring all the rounding error to his own account.....something that a customer would likely not notice as it could only be +/- AUD$0.01...since then they take more notice of small sums.....
Even sub one cent rounding errors add up, considering the number of transactions, and this would only have been picked up by reconciling the ledger some time down the track....
They probably picked it up in an audit and made good for anyone with a "Greater than zero" amount before the regulator came in and busted them.
