How secure is Samsung Wallet?Samsung Wallet goes out of its way to safeguard your privacy. It uses several special security methods, like tokenization, to secure your personal and financial information. Tokenization is a method of replacing your sensitive payment card information (Card Number, Expiration Date, Security code, etc.) with a device-specific ‘Token’ which acts as a surrogate value. In mobile payments, Tokens are used to protect your payment information and to reduce the security risks inherent to plastic cards. On top of this, Samsung Knox constantly monitors and protects your phone from malware and other threats. Samsung Knox also includes a security design whereby highly sensitive operations and information, such as fingerprint and payment information, are kept on a portion of your mobile phone’s memory known as a “secure environment.” Normal applications or malware have no access to the information inside it. In a nutshell, Samsung Wallet is super secure.
-
How does Samsung Wallet protect data?When you add your payment card to Samsung Wallet, the information is encrypted and sent to Samsung servers and, ultimately, to the card issuer's payment network (i.e., Visa®, MasterCard®, Discover®, or American Express®) for approval. A one-time password (OTP) may be requested by the card issuer to verify you are the cardholder. If your card is ever lost or stolen, this will prevent the card from being added to Samsung Wallet fraudulently. This process takes place every time you add a payment card. A new token will be generated even if you are attempting to add a card that was recently removed. The last four digits of the card number will be displayed on the card image in Samsung Wallet to help you manage your cards. When you make a payment, you will need to authenticate your identity by using your fingerprint or Samsung Wallet PIN before the information can be sent to the payment terminal. The merchant will only receive a token, and your payment information will be kept secure. The token will be sent to the payment network, where it will be decrypted and verified against the information stored in a secure vault on their internal networks. Once authenticated, the payment will be approved and sent back to the merchant. Only the payment network and your bank will have information about the actual card information.
