JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, 10 August 2018 – With Absa customers already enjoying the early access benefits of Samsung Pay, Standard Bank customers are also now able to make use of this highly secure and convenient payment method. Standard Bank cards supported during early access are Mastercard credit and cheque cards.

Craige Fleischer, Vice President of Integrated Mobility for Samsung South Africa says, “We’re proud to be offering this exceptional service to South Africans and the positive response from banks and vendors.”

Samsung users who have any of the following devices can enjoy this innovation: Galaxy Note 8, S9, S8, S7, A8 and  A5 | A7 (2017 Edition). True to their legacy of people-centred technology, Samsung once again brings the future into the present.

Make secure, simple mobile payments, almost anywhere, when purchasing goods at any store. All users need to do is tap their compatible Samsung Galaxy phone on a payment terminal to complete the transaction.

As a reward for being an innovator, Samsung have launched three promotional campaigns: get a R30 Mugg and Bean discount voucher with your first Samsung Pay transaction; tap 5 times and get a R50 Steers Voucher and tap 10 times to stand a chance to win one of five Galaxy S9 devices.

More merchants and banks will be added in the coming months.
