Random credit in bank account

FlippantFrog

Hi,
hopefully someone can help, my bank have been less than helpful. 
I received a small credit into my account yesterday, I wasn't expecting anything and I don't know where it has come from. The reference is just my name and TFC, so F FrogTFC. Does anyone have any ideas what this might be? I have tried Googling to see what I could find but all it seemed to come up with was tax free childcare, I don't have any children in childcare so it can't be that. 
It is only quite a small amount but I've read some threads of scams and things with bank accounts and I'm just a little concerned. does anyone have any ideas what this might be or have experienced this before?

Thanks x

How much is it for?
If as you say a small insignificant amount leave it there and wait for your bank to remove it from your account.
Should anyone else ask you to refund them due to a ''mistake'' etc tell them to go to their bank to get the refund. That way you won't lose out if it is the beginning of a scam.

Did you open a Help to Save account in April 2018 and put money in it?  If you did, It's your 2 year bonus.  HTH

National Savings Income Bonds perhaps, based on the end of the first part of the reference number?

Could very well be. Would be about right for a £1k holding.

@castle96 if the random credit drops to about £0.58 in June, then that's likely to be your answer. Always assuming you hold this product. Otherwise, its back to the drawing board.

The TFC might just stand for Transfer Credit

How are you viewing the transaction, I find that if I am viewing in my bank app, if I "click" the transaction it shows some more underlying detail.

P.S Which bank is it?
