Citibank Mistakenly Credit $81 Trillion To Customer Account

Citigroup erroneously credited $81 trillion, instead of $280, to a customers account and took hours to reverse the transaction, a near miss that shows up the banks operational issues it has sought to fix, the Financial Times first reported on Friday.


The error, which occurred last April, was missed by a payments employee and a second official assigned to check the transaction before it was cleared to be processed the next day, FT said, citing an internal account and two people familiar with the event.


A third employee caught the error one-and-a-half hours after the payment was processed and the transaction was ultimately reversed several hours later, FT said.

No funds left Citi, which disclosed the near miss when a bank processes the wrong amount but is able to recover the funds to the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the report said.


Citi told Reuters in an emailed statement its "detective controls" promptly identified the inputting error between two ledger accounts and that it reversed the entry, adding the incident had no impact on the bank or the client.


Last month, Citi CFO Mark Mason said the bank is investing more to address its compliance issues, referring to regulatory penalties for risk management and data governance.


"We saw the need to invest more in the transformation on data, on technology, on improving the quality of the information coming out of our regulatory reporting," Mason said.
