My Bank Made A Mistake And Sent Me A Check for $0.07!

Update 4 January 2025: They sent more amounting to a dollar or so. Please keep making errors, Bank of America. Then again, Wells Fargo is probably a more profitable banking option by that standard…

I got some mail from my bank and it turns out that they made an error in my favor worth…

7¢!

a letter from bank of america saying ‘after a recent review, we found your account may have been debited by mistake. We’re sorry and have attached a $0.07 check for you to cash or deposit.’

It probably cost more to send this check than it did correcting the error. At least the bank is honest although it wouldn’t let me cash the cheque in Zimbabwe. Also, it’s less generous than the $3 refund I got from a vending machine.
