Transfer to the wrong account

I transferred 11 000 to the wrong account and an amount of R5000 was deducted. It was an honest mistake from my end. I worked so hard for my salary and now I have nothing I can’t pay my bills. I want my money back and close the account ASAP

I need the money I’m really stressed and I feel like committing suicide 5 000 is a lot of money. Transfer the money back.

Today is the 24th of December. I made a transfer to an incorrect account of R11000. The bank took R5000 something and they are declining to reimburse the funds. I have never cried the way I did today. Tomorrow is Christmas No food no nothing to send back home in Eastern Cape. The branch said I made arrangement to pay arrears which is utterly lies and bull****. I have had an account in arrears and it was closed I never made arrangements nor was I contacted regarding payments. I took unpaid leave as I cannot focus and this whole situation is taking a toll on me. I worked Overtime to provide for my family and now this ? To think I have been with Standard Bank for 15 years and to be only treated unfairly. I went to Gugulethu Branch then later was told to go to Parow all for nothing. I will fight till the end. Can the money be reversed Yes.
