Los Angeles - A glitch in Apple's new mobile payment system, Apple Pay, caused some Bank of America customers to get charged twice for a single transaction, according to multiple media reports on Wednesday.

Bank of America is working to correct the problem and should have the issue fixed later Wednesday, the tech website Recode reported, citing a person familiar with the issue.

Apple launched the payment system on Monday.

After credit cards have been loaded into the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, a near field communication (NFC) antenna enables users to make in store payments by simply holding the phones near the contactless reader, while putting a finger on the phone's Touch ID sensor.
