Kieran McKeefery, a 21-year-old logged on to his online banking and discovered he had a mystery £1.25 million in his account.
Kieran called his bank, Natwest, and told them about it. The bank investigated and told him the money was deposited by mistake in his account by a huge investment company via their bank and it was up to the bank to retrieve the money.“I checked my online banking and immediately I noticed I had £1.25million in the bank. I was a bit fazed at first. It was such a copious amount of money to be in my bank.”
They said they would alert the bank of the mistake. It took that bank 10 days before the money was retrieved – leaving Kieran with a bonus £210 of interest.
Honest Kieran, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, said:
I didn’t know what to do, except just wait and think about all the things I could have spent it on. I thought ‘oh God, what has happened’ I was a bit shocked more than anything else.“It was very strange and quite scary when you are in that position, checking your bank to see if £1.25 million is in there.
“I called the bank and they said they would look into it. I was kind of tempted [to spend the money] but I had read stories about people spending money mistakenly placed in their accounts and getting in trouble. I spoke to my partner and she said to just leave it there and don’t touch it.
“I was buying a new car the next day and I could have paid for it in cash – and bought quite a few more with the money in my account. The bank wasn’t really playing ball. It was a bit crazy really.
They said it was up to them to sort it.”“I had all this money in my account and they said they had made the request [to the payee’s bank] and I just had to wait.
“The interest was pretty good really and they haven’t asked for it back,” said Kieran.
