*Device does not have MST payment capability and only supports NFC payment. Samsung Wallet is not available on iOS devices.
Samsung Pay/Wallet transactions are authorized with a PIN, fingerprint, or iris scan. After repeated failure to authenticate, Samsung Wallet will erase all card data. Also, each transaction uses a random token instead of the actual card number, which means no real information from the original card or account is shared by Samsung Wallet. Finally, using Samsung Knox technology, the phone is constantly monitored for signs of malicious attacks or vulnerabilities. Even if the phone is ever compromised, card information is still safely encrypted within a separate, secure data vault. If your device is ever lost or stolen, you can remotely lock or erase Samsung Wallet data using Find My Mobile.
Tokenization is a method of protecting payment card information by substituting the card's number with a unique alphanumeric identifier, generated using proprietary algorithms. The unique identifier, or token, is then used for sending the transaction to the card's payment network, where it is decrypted and the transaction is authorized. The actual card number is stored in a secure vault (with the payment processor or bank), and does not reside on the merchant's or Samsung's systems.
Tokenization is being used to reduce security risks inherent in the collection and transfer of highly sensitive data between merchants and the card's payment network. Tokenized data is not mathematically reversible, and is useless unless you have the original key used to create the token, limiting the chance of your payment information being stolen or compromised.
The transaction is seamless and requires no changes on the part of the merchant or consumer.
Samsung Pay/Wallet is available exclusively to users with a compatible Samsung device. Gift cards can be sent from Samsung Wallet to non-Samsung users.
Both Apple Pay and Google Pay rely on Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to make contactless payment. These services are limited to merchants with NFC-enabled payment terminals. Merchants are required to upgrade to a new payment terminal with NFC capabilities in order to accept Apple Pay or Android Pay. Samsung Pay/Wallet, on the other hand, uses both NFC and Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) technology on supported devices, making it work with nearly all current payment terminals. Some payment terminals may require software updates.
No. Samsung Wallet does not have access to your bank accounts.
With very few exceptions, corporate card issuers do not allow their cards to be used with a mobile wallet. Contact your card issuer at the number printed on the back of the card for details about their specific policies.
If the card issuer allows the physical card to be used abroad, then Samsung Pay/Wallet should work as well. The same currency exchange rates and fees will still apply. For further details, contact the card issuer.
After your card is added to Samsung Wallet, it will be activated by the payment card network (such as Visa, MasterCard, or American Express) and the card issuer (such as Bank of America, Citibank, or U.S. Bank). On average, activation will take place 5–10 minutes after any additional verification requirements have been met, such as entering your one-time password (OTP). During that time, you will be unable to use your card in Samsung Wallet. Your card will display a notice and you will receive a notification when the card has been activated.
You can use Samsung-approved cases or covers on your phone with Samsung Wallet. If you are using a third-party (non-OEM) case or cover, you may experience issues when attempting to make a payment. This is generally encountered with a very thick case or cover obstructing the communication between the phone and payment terminal. You may experience issues with third-party cases or covers when verifying your identity using your fingerprint. Be sure the case or cover is not blocking the Home key or preventing the sensor from reading your fingerprint. If you are experiencing issues when making a payment with Samsung Pay/Wallet, remove your case or cover from the device and try again.
When performing a factory data reset, all payment information in Samsung Wallet will be deleted. You will need to set up and add your payment card information into Samsung Wallet again after your device has been reset.
If you have sent your device in for repair, all payment information in Samsung Wallet will be deleted. You will need to set up Samsung Wallet and add your payment card information again.
Samsung Wallet shows your card to be invalid if you have suspended or frozen your card with the card issuer. Newly issued cards will need to be added in Samsung Wallet.
If your payment card has been lost, misplaced, or stolen, please contact the card issuer immediately. Some card issuers will allow you to report the card as lost or stolen via their website, while others require a phone call.
Samsung Wallet requires an active internet connection when adding or removing a payment card and to download transaction history. You can connect via a Wi-Fi network or your mobile data connection. When you are using Samsung Pay/Wallet to make a purchase, no internet connection is needed. However, some networks will limit you to 10 transactions during a period without internet access, after which Samsung Wallet will require an active internet connection. We recommend connecting to the internet at least once per day to ensure Samsung Wallet stays up-to-date.
Deleting a payment card from Samsung Wallet will only remove the payment information, including the token (digital card number) from the device. Your physical card will remain active. If you want to cancel your card, please contact the card issuer.
The payment card displayed in Samsung Wallet may not match your physical card. In those instances, Samsung Wallet will use a graphical representation of your card. You can determine if your card is accurate by verifying the following information matches your physical card: the card network (Visa, MasterCard, or American Express), the card issuer (Bank of America, Citibank, or U.S. Bank), and the last four digits of your card.
