try and get in contact with the accounts department via phone and email... they will want the money back it's just a matter of time until they find out and seeing you have already written a letter then they will have it on record...
just keep the money to the side until you find out a way to give it back to them...
it's great to hear that there are still honest genuine people in the world...
I would of done the exact same thing as yourself. |

Normally, I would say it is fraud to keep what isn't yuors/
Being a bank though, imagine you had gone overdrawn by accident, they would fine you.
I suggest you write to them, and tell them you will pay the money back less a £30 (or an amount you decide) charge for going overdrawn with you.
See how they like them apples! |

They can legally ask for it back when they catch on. |

Pay it back. If you don't then you run the risk of having a criminal record (keeping something that doesn't belong to you is theft). Then you would not have a job with either bank. |

Send them a letter and a check for the amount they paid you. |

They will properly recall the money sometime soon, however there is a banking rule that if the money hasn't been taken back after a period of time, then legally you are able to keep it - I 'll try and find some info for you and edit later

first of all if you are an honest person, which i assume you are otherwise you wouldn't have asked this question here - you should instruct your bank to return the money immediately.
any money you recieve that isn't rightfully yours - no blessing can come of it. |

Give it back. You could be prosecuted (read something about it on the papers few days ago). But oh well, if you have written a letter you are probably safeguarded. Just make sure you don't spend the money until it's sorted. |

DO NOT use the funds they sent you in error, as they can claim them back, if and when they notice their mistake.
Inform the bank that has mispaid you immediately and request a sort code and account number so you can return the funds, as an MT202 bank to bank financial transfer, claiming funds sent in error. (you can do this using your banks outward CHAPS facility).
If they bank that paid you in error are ignoring you, I assume they paid you by BACS. You can find the sort code these funds came from using a BACS trace, and again return the payment as funds received in error by CHAPS.
As you work in a bank this should be easy to arrange!! |

Do a formal letter to bank A with a cheque returning the the money & informing them of the error they made. you might be surprised a bigger package might await you for being honest.
All the best |

Dont spend it. They can (and probably will) claim it back.
They won't let you off as it would set a precedent. |

Call the payroll or HR department of that bank and discuss it with them. |
