Entered the wrong amount on quick deposit

reelaroundthefountain

Hi, i was in a mad rush when i went into Natwest to deposit money into my account. There was a huge queue so i decided to use the quick deposit machine.

I entered £100 and put my notes into the envelope. It's only when i got home that i realised in fact the amount i had put into the machine was £120.

My first question is will the bank correct my mistake.

The second is, i was hoping the money would be deposited into my account today - regardless of if i do lose the money will it slow the deposit down?

Any help would be appreciated.

I think you'd be best phoning the Natwest and asking them

Ring them and explain that you think there is £120 in the envelope rather than £100. Yes I would have thought they would credit the correct amount should you had not realised.

However I would guess they won't credit your account until the next working day, if you paid in on a Saturday then it may well be Monday before they credit the deposit.

Cash Quick Deposits should go into the account on the same day if you've paid in before 3.30 pm - this will apply to Saturdays aswell.

If the amount is incorrect either way (too short/too much), the corrected amount will be paid into the account.


They should also give you a call to let you know this providing you've left your number on the envelope

£100 was paid into my account today. Can't complain because it was my mistake. Oh well!

Yes complain, and ask them to check again... they MUST notice the surplus !!
