Short answer

A mistaken transfer may support an unjust-enrichment repayment claim against the recipient. Contact the bank quickly, but it cannot always unilaterally reverse an executed payment.

Practical example

An account-number error sends money to someone you owe nothing. Keep evidence of the purpose and mistake.

What to do

Notify the bank, record the error and request the appropriate recovery procedure. Retain the receipt, correspondence and intended-purpose documents.

Points to consider

Obtaining recipient information and enforcing repayment require lawful procedures. Publicising personal data without authority is not a solution.
