A "serious" problem because someone foolishly attempted to use Apple Pay at a bank branch as unadvertised? Surely you're exaggerating big time![]()
Not entirely out of the question as some newer credit and debit cards have RFID/NFC chips. I don't bank with BofA so not sure what they have.
No it's not. Otherwise, we'd be hearing about far more incidents of this. Like lordofthereef said, it's been two months and the OP is the only one we've heard of this? Unless of course there's more to the story than the OP is telling us.
Yeah, it is a SERIOUS problem when you can so EASILY take down the terminals in a bank and the tellers aren't educated enough to even understand why
For real dude? You don't get why this is serious to a bank?

Um, we were all telling him this could be coincidence, explaining correlation vs. causation, etc. Now it can be reported with confidence to those who can fix it.
Hey guys, I'm sitting outside in my car right now outside of another Bank Of America and the same thing happened, this one is in studio city. Just wanted to update you guys.

Get over yourself, lol!Just the typical personal attack response I'd expect from someone advocating taking the matter into their own hands and shutting down an entire branch the second time in the middle of the day and inconveniencing other customers.
Now that actually qualifies as tampering!!!I know how the OP feels as when I was a kid, I stuck a plastic airplane propeller in the key hole of a street corner US Mail box and to my surprise the lock turned and the door fell open and hundreds of pieces of mail fell out and started blowing all over the intersection!
That is a really bad system design if they just shut down instead of merely rejecting the unexpected input. Sounds like they have nitwits in their IT department. Makes me glad I am not a BoA customer!!!!Props to the OP. It would never even have occurred to me to try this.My guess is that the payment terminals enter some sort of security shutdown mode since they don't know how to deal with the tokenized credit card number from Apple Pay. I'd report it to both Apple and BoA.
I have a BofA checking account and 2 credit cards. They haven't yet upgraded my cards to NFC or EMV chips, though the latter will happen by October.
