Commercial Bank of Ethiopia glitch lets customers withdraw millions
Ethiopia's biggest commercial bank is scrambling to recoup large sums of money withdrawn by customers after a 'systems glitch'.
The customers discovered early on Saturday that they could take out more cash than they had in their accounts at the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE).
More than $40m (£31m) was withdrawn or transferred to other banks, local media reported.
It took several hours for the institution to freeze transactions.
