If money gets paid into your bank account by accident can it be withdrawn?

Answer:

Answer

Yes - but when the bank finds their mistake they will take it from your account and you will have to repay it - and if it goes into negative or overdraft due to their withdrawal you will have additional fees too! It is best to leave it there and tell your bank - or at least ask them what it is - who knows maybe it does belong to you. Honesty is always the best policy.
