Overview
- A state-run bank spokesperson said the extra credits resulted from an accreditation-system error and were not bonuses or new benefits.
- Affected customers were notified through internal messages instructing them not to use the mistakenly credited money because it will be reversed.
- Reversals were expected once normal banking operations resumed after the Dec. 31–Jan. 1 holiday, according to union commentary and media reports.
- Screenshots showed entries labeled “rend.peso” and “rend. USD,” with reports of deposits ranging from ARS 100,000 to 700,000 and at least one $60 dollar credit.
- Union officials cautioned that spending the funds could lead to forced debits or negative balances when the bank corrects the error.
