German state bank Kfw accidentally transferred €7.6 billion to four other banks but got the money back, incurring costs of €25,000, executive board member Guenther Braeunig said on Wednesday.
The money was transferred in February due to a glitch in the bank’s information technology and was reminiscent of an incident in 2008 when KfW transferred €350 million to Lehman Brothers on the day of its bankruptcy, suffering heavy losses.
KfW is currently renewing its IT, a process which will be concluded by 2018.
