In a statement, Citibank says the problem affected withdrawals and deposits made between 2 May and 8 May.

The glitch affected yen savings, US dollar savings, chequeing, international loan card and advanced money accounts.

The bank says the botch-up was caused by an incorrect batch process that occured following the implementation of a new system.
