Some Bank of America customers have been double-charged for purchases made with Apple Pay, the payment system Apple launched on Monday.</p><p>
Roughly 1,000 transactions made with Apple Pay were logged twice in customer accounts, said Tara Burke, a spokeswoman with Bank of America, which is one of the largest U.S. banks and was an Apple Pay launch partner.</p><p>
“We apologize for the inconvenience and are correcting the problem,” said Burke.</p><p>
The duplicate transactions should be removed by the end of Wednesday.</p><p>
Apple Pay utilizes a secure chip inside Apple’s new iPhone 6 that enables the phone to emulate an NFC (near field communications) payment card. When the Apple Pay app is loaded with a customer’s credit or debit card, payments can be made at NFC terminals by bringing the phone close to the terminal.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2837752/some-bank-of-america-customers-doublecharged-with-apple-pay.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
