He was happy to hear from the bank that he could keep the money. He moved the money to his Barclays account.
Bank makes a U-turn
In a quick turn of events, the bank soon realised its error and asked the man to return the money.
According to Daily Record, Urslaan returned the money to the bank on October 2 and had this to say about the whopping error:
"I had £1 (GH₵14) in my savings account. I'd set up a standing order, where £200 is meant to drop from there into my current account, but I didn't have the money in there for that to happen.
"When it did, I went to check my balance - and it said £122k (GH₵1.7 million). It's not only the case that they put the money in my account - they even allowed me to transfer it over to my Barclays account."
Honest but unemployed Ghanaian man returns GH¢100,000 he found in a taxi
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh previously reported that a Ghanaian passenger found a huge sum of money in a taxi he joined but decided not to give it to the driver.
The passenger said he could not trust the taxi driver to give the money to the owner, so he took it to an Accra-based media house.
In a Facebook post, Richard Kwadwo Nyarko said the owner had her ID card as part of the money.
