JAMAICA OBSERVER: The National Commercial Bank (NCB) has confirmed reports reaching OBSERVER ONLINE that an Automated Banking Machine (ABM) malfunctioned, spewing out cash in Santa Cruz on Tuesday night.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Sources told OBSERVER ONLINE that late Tuesday night when the ABM malfunctioned, people took advantage of the windfall by hurriedly grabbing cash that was coming from the machine.<\/p>\n

NCB in a statement said the malfunction was due to a manual error and the machine was taken offline.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThere was an incident with one of our automated banking machines (ABMs) in Santa Cruz that night that incorrectly disbursed denominated notes to some customers due to a manual error. As soon as we became aware of the issue, we took immediate action to rectify the situation, and the machine was taken offline,\u201d the statement read in part.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cWe are still investigating the issue and reviewing our procedures to minimise the risk of a similar situation occurring again,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n

NCB did not state the amount of money that was incorrectly disbursed.<\/p>
