美国国家公共电台 NPR 英国一家银行误向客户汇款1.75亿美元

U.K. bank mistakenly issues duplicate payments to customers' accounts

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin with a story about accidentally getting into the holiday spirit. About 75,000 people got a double dose of cheer if they happened to look at their bank balance on Christmas Day. The U.K. branch of Santander Bank mistakenly issued duplicate payments into customers' accounts. The technical error cost about $175 million. Santander is now working to recover all that money. But if customers are like me, they've already used it to pay off their Christmas credit card debt. It's MORNING EDITION.

主持人瑞秋·马丁：

早上好我是瑞秋·马丁，今天要说的是圣诞节当天的一个事故。大约7.5万人如果在圣诞节那天碰巧看到自己的银行存款余额，就会得到双倍的惊喜。桑坦德银行的英国分行错误地执行了两遍转账操作。技术错误造成的损失约为1.75亿美元。桑坦德现在正在努力追回所有的钱。但如果顾客和我一样，他们怕是已经用它来偿还他们的圣诞信用卡债务了。这是早间版。
