A bank customer experienced a duplicate $500 transfer due to a bank-side technical error, and despite the bank acknowledging the mistake, faced a prolonged dispute process without refund. This reflects a broader pattern where banks' error-correction and dispute resolution processes are slow and opaque, leaving customers out of pocket for extended periods.
