Bank error makes Croatian women a billionaire

A bank error has made one lady from the Croatian capital Zagreb an overnight billionaire - for a short while anyway. Croatian Postal Bank (HPB) instead of putting just 50 kuna (6 Euros), put a whopping 3,200,000.000 kuna (3 billion and 200 Million kuna) close to 500 million Euros onto the Zagreb residents account. When the mistake was detected, in a panic HPB called their suprised client, and then a representative from the bank turned up at the womens address, in search of a signature which could overturn the error, which the lady obliged in giving. A statement from the bank said that their workers were only human and not machines and that mistakes were always possible. via
