How to setup Samsung Wallet

Before using Samsung Wallet, it is important that you configure it to your liking, taking into account the features of your device and your needs.

If you have a supported device, Samsung Wallet should be already installed on your phone. If not, your phone may not have the latest software. In this case you should first download any available software updates from the “Settings” menu of your device.

To setup your Samsung Wallet, follow these steps:

1 Run Samsung Pay on your phone. Once you open the app, you will be prompted to download and install the complete app. This is because the full version of the app is not pre-installed.
2 You will be asked to sign into your Samsung account. If you have one already, simply enter your login data. If you do not have a Samsung account, you must create one through Samsung Wallet. If the account is already logged in, tap the “Start” button. Then, read and agree to the terms and conditions, and click the “Next” option.
3 Now you will have to set up a verification method for using Samsung Wallet. You can use the iris scanner (if your phone has one), the fingerprint reader, or the PIN option.

Please note: if you choose iris or fingerprint verification, the app will also require you to set up a PIN as a backup.

4 Create a 4-digit Samsung Wallet PIN.
5 Now you can add your first credit or debit card to Samsung Wallet and use it to make payments.
