Summary of My Issue : Delayed payment information appearance caused by my funds being low and was charged for Overdraft fees twice. 

Q : Why was this an issue? 
A : I paid my credit card bill via Bank of America 's Mobile Banking iOS App. But the transaction information did n't appear to show me whether the transaction success or not, even after I refreshed and re-logged in the app ( normally, the transaction information will show immediately after I refreshed and re-logged in the app ). Then, I waited for one more business day to see the transaction appearance, but the payment transaction did n't appear even as a scheduled payment item. So I did made the same amount of payment for the same credit card account again via Online Banking using XXXX browser the following business day.
