Accidental bank transfers returned in İzmir

Overview

In İzmir, Turkey, separate incidents have been reported involving individuals returning significant sums of money sent via accidental bank transfers.

In the first instance, a merchant in the Buca district, Murat Mercan, returned 83,000 Turkish Lira to a former customer who had mistakenly selected his name in a banking application. Mercan identified the sender through personal records and returned the funds in person.

In a subsequent incident, a taxi driver named Celal Sarıoğlu returned 920,000 Lira after a passenger accidentally transferred the amount instead of a 920 Lira fare. Sarıoğlu was later presented with an award by the Izmir Drivers and Automobile Tradesmen Chamber for his honesty.
