Since launching Samsung Pay last year, Samsung has focused on building the functionalities of the service to provide the best possible user experience. Key capabilities include:

• Simplicity: With Samsung Pay every transaction is easy and convenient¹. Samsung Pay uses Near Field Communication (NFC) making the user experience seamless.

Samsung Pay allows customers to use contactless payment for transactions over £30 (subject to merchant policies).

• Security: Samsung is committed to ensuring its customers have complete peace of mind when it comes to mobile payments and digital wallets. Each transaction is authenticated by fingerprint, pin number or iris scan², and uses an encrypted digital token to replace sensitive card information to help prevent fraud. Additionally, Samsung’s industry-leading Knox security platform is built into the hardware and software of your device, which ensures mobile information and data is secure.
