Best Answer

You are responsible for any money that is present in your account. If you feel some transaction (a deposit) has happened in your account which you are not aware of, you must notify the bank of the same. If you happen to hold on to this money and it so happens that this money was being used by terrorists and they put it into your account by mistake, you will also be in trouble. So it is better if you intimate the bank reg. this.

Will bank hold the wire transfer fund if account number is mistaken added by extra digits?

It Depends. If there is a valid bank account including the extra digits you put in by mistake, funds will be transferred to that account. The bank will not take any liability out of this wrong transaction that arose out of your mistake in entering the account number incorrectly. But, if there is no valid account with those numbers then the transaction will be cancelled and the money will be deposited back into your account. If by chance, money got deposited into the wrong account, you have to file a legal complaint to get your money bank. The bank can only provide details of to whose account the money was deposited and will not help you out to get the money back.

Can you keep money that is accidentally deposited in your account?

If money is put into your account by mistake and you notice this, you should tell the bank. It is not your money and you can not keep it. However, if you genuinely do not notice and happen to spend some of this money, you could make a case to the bank that you have acted in good faith and that you would suffer hardship in repaying the sum. As it will have been the banks mistake in placing the money in your account they may write off the amount....but this is not certain.


Can I deposit my money order into someone esle's bank account?

No. first of all, a money order can be deposited into the bank account of the person to whom it has been written to. Second of all, even if the bank teller accepts it by mistake, it will not be cashed. The money order will be returned and no money will be paid. So, doing so would be a waste of time.
