Chase Bank ATM glitch: Free cash or trouble?

Chase Bank ATM glitch: Free cash or trouble?
By Riya Chaudhary

A recent glitch at Chase Bank allowed customers to withdraw more money than they actually had, which quickly turned into a social media frenzy on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter). 

  • A system flaw enabled unauthorised cash withdrawals 

  • Many rushed to ATMs to exploit the glitch as news spread 

  • The bank responded with account holds, resulting in negative balances for those involved. 

 

Chase Bank’s ATM glitch spread rapidly on social media, with videos and posts on TikTok and X going viral. People shared their experiences and encouraged others to take advantage before Chase fixed the issue. Many joined in without thinking about the potential legal and financial consequences. 

Reports suggest that the glitch involved depositing fake cheques into Chase Bank ATMs. These dubious cheques weren’t immediately flagged by the bank’s security systems, allowing individuals to withdraw money before the fraud was detected and access large amounts of money that didn’t belong to them.
