wrong account

Erroneous financial record

Wrong account refers to a mistaken identity situation in online or financial contexts—when someone contacts, messages, or transacts with an account they didn't intend to reach: Sorry, wrong account—I meant to message my sister.

It also describes using the wrong login credentials or posting from an unintended profile: I accidentally tweeted from my company's wrong account.

In banking, it may indicate funds deposited or withdrawn from an incorrect account.
