Samsung Pay

Samsung Pay got even better. Meet Samsung Wallet!
Samsung Wallet is the secure, go-everywhere app for your essentials — credit cards, membership cards, and more. All in one spot, all accessible with one swipe. Samsung Wallet includes everything you love about Samsung Pay, but also contains features from Samsung Pass and more.

Samsung Wallet safeguards 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 with plastic cards.
On top of this, Samsung Knox constantly monitors and helps protect 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 would have no access to the information inside it.

If you are using Samsung Pay, your device may be eligible for Samsung Wallet. To get Samsung Wallet, make sure that you have the latest version of Samsung Pay app and that your phone has the latest software. Download any software updates that may be available from the Settings » About device OR the Settings » Software update menu on the phone.
