When more than $88,000 was wrongly transferred to his bank account, his friends could not believe his luck and told him to keep the windfall.
But Mr Jon Lim, 31, didn't think twice about returning the money.
The transaction, made on March 27, turned out to be a Giro transfer from British-based medical equipment company Smith & Nephew, which has an office in Singapore.
It took him several days of calling the office to get through to someone who confirmed there had been an error in the bank transfer.
After he returned the money, Smith & Nephew sent him an e-mail to acknowledge it. The brief e-mail read: "Hi Jon, We had (sic) received below fund (sic) yesterday. Thank you very much."
