Last week I had put the first of $ in my savings account for future RRSP purchases. This is the same account I keep my Christmas money in as well as my baby EF $. I finally got the online banking hooked up properly for it but I got confused when the $250 didn't seem to get added on.
I checked my receipt from the bank and yeah.....it should have been in there.
I debated going today or Monday. I thought perhaps on a Friday afternoon the bank might be busy or the staff might be less happy to help. I went anyways.
I hit the ATM first to get a print out of the current balance then headed in. I explained my question and showed the receipt from last week. After a bit of digging she found that it had been erroneously deposited into the trust/yearly dues portion of the bank. There is a $5 member fee per year. I however was special and paid $255 lol. They have no clue how that happpened as there are several steps to 'get' into that part They transferred it to the correct amount.
I never keep those receipts but recently I started to and boy am I glad I did :-)

Wow, good thing you kept that receipt!! :)
I'm glad you were paying attention. Scary, isn't it, that a mistake could wipe out your hard earned savings.
It wasn't gone. Just in an unusual place. They would have figured it out eventually lol
That sounds so strange - that's good that you found it!
Just think how many years of dues you would have had paid up! 51 counting this year! Good thing you caught that.
