The Lloyds TSB cash machine in the town of Ipswich began dispensing "free money" to customers on Wednesday after the bank branch had closed for the evening.
As word spread of the glitch2(小故障) , a crowd began to gather, prompting arguments among those trying to use the machine.
Police were called in to keep watch until the bank's staff could take it out of service.
A Lloyds spokesman said the machine had been "misdispensing" cash for only a short time.
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused," the spokesman added.
Some 30 people are thought to have benefited from the glitch. It is not clear how much money the bank lost, or if it will be able to recover the funds.
Emma Hutchinson, from Ipswich, told the Ipswich Star: "Word got around pretty quickly. My friend asked for 40 pounds and the machine gave out 80 pounds."
Lloyds Banking3 Group, which sought a massive bailout from the British government during the financial crisis, said that it had cut interim4 net losses to 676 million pounds ($1.02 billion) on the back of restructuring measures.
One Twitter user, @FizzySparkler, commented: "Nice to see one bank is giving back."
