Irishman Kevin Conway was shocked when he checked his bank account.

Instead of 200 euros, which he thought he had - he was shown a figure of 197,245,088 euros, Telegrafi reports.

To make sure that he is not seeing the wrong numbers, he opened the application several times - but the same numbers were displayed, Telegrafi reports.

"When I recently checked the financial situation through the application, it was 197 million euros.

But this very suddenly disappeared.

I didn't know what to do.

"I grabbed my head and in two hours I was 200 million euros richer," said Conway.

Unfortunately, it turned out to be a mistake.

Kevin has not been able to withdraw this amount of money.

The spokesman for the company that owns the banking application for smartphones, has emphasized that this error was quickly fixed.

According to Kevin, when he asked the customer support agent what had happened – he humorously told him that he wished that amount of money belonged to him.

"I would like it to be like that.

Both you and I would be rich", added the agent humorously.
