How Does Samsung Pay Work? Everything You Need To Know - Wise
August 7, 2021 - On all models before the Galaxy S21—released in January 2021—Samsung Pay works to make payments through two technologies called near-field communication and magnetic secure transmission—MST and NFC. From the Galaxy S21 on, Samsung phones will only use NFC. To offset the availability issue in countries like India, Samsung models—up until 2021—came equipped with MST payment technology as well.

Many nations throughout the world accept Samsung Pay, however consumers in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are still awaiting official acceptance. It's intriguing that Samsung Pay hasn't appeared yet given how technologically advanced these nations are.
What do you believe is the reason for the hold up? Is it market size, regulations, or banking partnerships? What steps may Samsung take to expedite adoption in smaller European markets, in your opinion?

Pretty sure it's mostly to do with bank partnerships. For cards to work on mobile payment systems the banks need to partner with the brand. Most banks would rather go with Google over Samsung, as even though Samsung is the majority of Android, the odd person with have another Android phone and banks will want to be available for everyone. I'm not sure about the Baltics but for example in Poland, Samsung Pay doesn't work there because banks only accept apple and Google Pay, with their own nfc payment alternatives on their apps. Also im pretty sure it costs money to partner with Samsung, so banks often don't see a reason to partner with samsung if google pay works fine for most ppl
