Bank of America has offered mobile payment services to customers, clients and merchants since 2014, but the addition of mobile wallets is a first from a major US bank for commercial cardholders.
“We are very pleased to announce today a new, highly convenient mobile capability to our commercial clients,” said Hubert Jolly, head of Financing and Channels in Global Transaction Services at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
