Netizens responded to the tweet with differing views as some provided solutions on how to approach the issue, while others disagreed that TymeBank was the only financial institution capable of the error in question.

@gwexe_bongani replied:

“This once happened to me and my bank refunded me. Surely @tymebankza should have looked at the behaviour of your account prior to this. If you never transferred money at night, why now, if you never transferred big amounts before, why now. Sorry.

@KCxMU_Supporter responded:

“Can’t they track who/which bank the EFT was made to? Surely they can check that since it wasn’t a CashSend or anything like that, but it was a transfer from your account to another.”

@juristicpilot commented:

“They can. They just don't want to in this case.”

@DiGaverG said:

“Tymebank access controls on their online banking are very tight and reliable. .”

@Dodlonkie replied:

“Same thing happened to me 2021. I'm sorry.”
