    Hmm. The article doesn’t actually say that they’ll get an overdraft fee, just that it will be treated as overdrawn. Like, negative balance.

    I’m not sure that there will actually be a fee.

    While if someone took out exactly as much as they could, I suspect that it’s probably pretty fair to say that it was intentional, my guess is that some people probably just went over inadvertently. I doubt that they’d want to hit the inadvertent crowd.

    They might charge interest if they give notice and people don’t pay it back or something, though. I could believe that.

    goes looking

    Yeah:

    BANK OF IRELAND has said there will be “no customer detriment in relation to interest” for those who withdrew money from their accounts following a glitch with BOI’s online services.

    When asked if customers who withdrew money they didn’t have from their accounts would be subject to interest rates or unauthorised overdraft fees, a BOI spokesperson said: “There will be no customer detriment in relation to interest in that scenario.”
