Santander gave out £130 million on Christmas Day

What a guy!

UK bank Santander got into the Christmas spirit this year by paying out a total of £130 million ($175 million) to customers by mistake on December 25.

The total payment was split over 75,000 transactions for around 2,000 corporate and commercial customers, Santander said in a statement published Thursday.

"We're sorry that due to a technical issue, some payments from our corporate clients were incorrectly duplicated on the recipients' accounts," reads the statement.

1) I have an account at Santander bank and I did not receive a single penny. I call this fake news.

2) I am surprised CNN refers to Santander as a "UK bank". Granted the story happened in the UK but I'd have expected them to refer to it as a Spanish bank still

They must've noticed the flag on my Atlas profile.

My mom has Santander bank and didn’t receive $130 million from them as a Christmas gift.
