Apple Pay is experiencing issues in Hungary, as reported by several Hungarian news sources. Users of Apple devices are reporting unexpected charges appearing on their accounts, despite not making any purchases themselves.
Multiple erroneous transactions are being observed, affecting a wide range of banks across Hungary. Users are seeing repeated small charges debited from their accounts. One individual reported nearly $1,500 USD withdrawn through 74 rapid transactions.
As reported by MacRumors, Hungarian news outlets indicate that banks are inundated with customer inquiries seeking assistance, pointing to a potential issue originating from Apple’s side. OTP Bank in Hungary acknowledged instances of “massive, unjustified debits“ affecting cards across various banks, with ongoing analysis to determine the root cause. Raiffeisen Bank posted a statement on their website noting Apple’s active involvement in resolving the matter.
“We would like to inform our customers that due to a technical issue with an external partner, some of our customers may have experienced erroneous charges from the Apple App Store. Our team is in contact with Apple representatives, and efforts are underway to address the problem.”
Some of the charges seem to stem from previously canceled subscriptions, while others match amounts from past transactions. Affected customers have managed to block their cards through their banks, halting further unauthorized charges.
