The Tokyo branch of Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corp. said Friday that trouble in the computer link between the branch and the Data Telecommunication System of All Banks in Japan made the branch unable to execute 1,560 money transfers Thursday.
Because of the glitch, which occurred a little past 9:40 a.m. Thursday, the branch was unable to handle the money orders from 29 companies to send a total of about 904 million yen to other banks within the day, according to HSBC.
