Bank of America is introducing Android Pay at its ATMs. According to Google executives, the bank’s customers will be able to use Android Pay at the ATMs. Android Pay allows shoppers pay at store checkout counters by waving their Android smartphones in front of a wireless reader, equipped with near-field communications (NFC) technology. Shoppers upload their credit and debit card information to the mobile app to pay instead of using cash or taking credit cards from their wallets. It is similar in many ways to Apple’s mobile payments service, Apple Pay. Android Pay’s technology will be integrated at thousands of Bank of America ATM machines, starting in San Francisco and the Bay Area. At the ATM, an Android Pay user can open the mobile app and select the Bank of America debit card within his or her digital wallet. The owner can then hold the phone over the ATM’s contactless card reader. Once the reader recognizes the device, the user will be prompted to enter his or her pin, select from which account to draw cash, and withdraw money
