Forgot money at ATM

    I was in a rush the other day at the ATM and entered my pin and all that but never took the dispensed money. I'm with AIB. It was a Bank of Ireland ATM in a Centra.

    I know this is such a stupid thing to happen but I know it's common.

    My question. Have I lost money or does the machine realise the mistake?

    Might want to get in contact with AIB and BOI! Also might want to check your balance. Usually sucks it back in after a while. I'm sure the shop has an camera on the ATM as well in case anyone took it!

    This happened my mom a few years ago and when she went into the bank they told her that the machine is programmed to talk the money back after a certain length of time if it's not taken. They can check the machine to see if there is more money than there should be in it. Get onto your bank to see what the procedure is. However in my moms case she didn't get her money back as someone must have been behind her and taken the money out.

    Wouldn't cctv catch them even more so if they used the atm after your mother?

    This happened to me, you shouldn't need to go into bank, just ring AIB (017712424) and report what happened, you will get refunded, but might take a week or two!
