As a professional software tester, may I just say
There is no such thing as a perfect system and even one that is 99.99999999% perfect will still fuck up once every 10,000,0000 ( may be out may a decimal place or 2, maths is not my strong suit)times which, given the number of transactions processed in a day, let alone a year by any major bank, would still cause a fair number of fuckups. sometimes shit just happens.

Thats why there should be parallel systems coded seperatly for that sort of thing, if they don't come to the same conclusion they block any payments.

This would be good.
However you'll still get mistakes. just less often. I imagine there are also budgetary constraints.

The error was more likely somewhere between a chair and keyboard, I'd hate to debug the issue.
