Samsung Pay (stylized as SΛMSUNG Pay) is a mobile payment and digital wallet service, operated by the South Korean company Samsung Electronics. It lets users make payments using compatible smartphones and other Samsung-produced devices, accessed using the Samsung Wallet app.

First launched in 2015, the service supports contactless payments using near-field communications (NFC), but also supports magnetic strip-only payment terminals by incorporating magnetic secure transmission (MST) in devices released before 2021.{{Cite web |last=Welch |first=Chris |date=2021-01-14 |title=The Galaxy S21 doesn't support Samsung Pay's most convenient feature |url=https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/14/22231392/samsung-pay-mst-feature-discontinued-galaxy-s21 |access-date=2023-03-14 |website=The Verge |language=en-US}} In India, it also supports bill payments.{{cite web|url=https://news.samsung.com/in/samsung-india-introduces-bill-payments-on-samsung-pay-now-pay-all-your-utility-bills-securely|title=Samsung India Introduces 'Bill Payments' on Samsung Pay, Now Pay all Your Utility Bills Securely|website=news.samsung.com|language=en-IN|access-date=2018-01-03}}

Service

Samsung Pay was developed from the intellectual property of LoopPay, a crowdfunded startup company that Samsung acquired in February 2015 for an estimated $300m, one of the largest acquisitions made by the firm. The service supports both NFC-based mobile payment systems (which are prioritized when support is detected), as well as those that only support magnetic stripes. This is accomplished via a technology known as magnetic secure transmission (MST), which emulates the swipe of a permanent magnet strip past a reader by generating the near-field magnetic waveform directly. LoopPay's developers stated that because of this design, the technology would work with "nearly 90%" of all point-of-sale units in the United States (which excludes terminals that require the card to be physically inserted into a slot in order to function).{{cite web|title=Samsung Pay: What you need to know (FAQ)|url=https://www.cnet.com/news/samsung-pay-what-you-need-to-know-faq/|website=CNET|access-date=2 September 2016}}

On phones, the Samsung Pay menu is launched by swiping from the bottom of the screen. Different credit, debit and loyalty cards can be loaded into the app, and selected by swiping between them on-screen.{{cite web|title=Samsung Pay: What is it, how does it work, when is it coming to the UK?|url=http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/132981-samsung-pay-what-is-it-how-does-it-work-when-is-it-coming-to-the-uk|website=Pocket-lint|date=March 2015 |access-date=2 September 2016}}

In South Korea, Samsung Pay can be used for online payments{{cite web|url=http://www.techtimes.com/articles/154500/20160429/samsung-pay-atm-cash-withdrawals-go-live-but-with-limited-availability-for-now.htm|title=Samsung Pay ATM Cash Withdrawals Go Live, but with Limited Availability for Now|date=April 29, 2016}} and to withdraw money on selected banks' ATMs.{{Citation|last=J Yeo|title=삼성페이로 우리은행ATM에서 인출하기 How to withdraw from Wooribank ATM|date=2015-08-21|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU98OtqkQKc|access-date=2016-05-21}}

In Mainland China, Samsung Pay supports In-app payments, QR code payments (Alipay, and WeChat Pay) and public transportation cards of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and other cities.

In Hong Kong, Samsung Pay can be linked with Octopus cards, called Smart Octopus, to make electronic payments with stored value service for payments in online or offline systems.{{Cite news|url=http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/economy/article/2123878/hongkongers-will-soon-be-able-use-phones-place-octopus-cards|title=Now your phone can replace your Octopus card (if it's a Samsung)|work=South China Morning Post|access-date=2017-12-12|language=en}}

In India, Samsung Pay supports Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and BharatQR, but for bank accounts only, not via credit cards like Google Pay.{{Cite news|url=https://gadgets.ndtv.com/apps/news/samsung-pay-mobile-payment-platform-launched-in-india-upi-integration-announced-1672195|title=Samsung Pay Launched in India; UPI Integration Announced|work=NDTV Gadgets360.com|access-date=2018-01-03|language=en}} It also supports bill payments via the Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS).

In May 2020, Samsung Pay unveiled Samsung Money by SoFi, a mobile-first money management experience that makes available a cash management account and accompanying Mastercard debit card via the Samsung Pay app, in partnership with fintech company SoFi.{{cite web|last=|first=|date=May 27, 2020|title=Introducing Samsung Money by SoFi: Do More With Your Money|url=https://news.samsung.com/us/introducing-samsung-money-samsung-pay-sofi/|access-date=|website=}}

In June 2022, Samsung Pay was renamed to Samsung Wallet in the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Along with the renaming came new features such as the ability to store digital assets and digital keys within the Wallet app. These new features also came to the Samsung Pay app in South Korea, despite it not adopting the new "Samsung Wallet" name.{{Cite web |date=2022-06-16 |title=Introducing Samsung Wallet: An easy-to-use, secure platform that holds everything your digital life needs |url=https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-wallet-easy-to-use-secure-platform-digtial-lift/ |access-date=2022-07-02 |website=Samsung US Newsroom |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |title=SAMSUNG PAY {{!}} Samsung 대한민국 |url=https://www.samsung.com/sec/samsung-pay/home/ |access-date=2022-07-02 |website=Samsung sec |language=ko}}

In Saudi Arabia , Samsung Wallet also supports adding Mada cards in addition to Visa and Mastercard , Mada which is the Saudi Payments Network is a major payment system in Saudi Arabia {{Cite web |title=Samsung Wallet Mada Support in Saudi |url=https://www.samsung.com/sa_en/apps/samsung-wallet/}}

Security

Samsung Pay's security measures are based on Samsung Knox and ARM TrustZone technologies; credit card information is stored in a secure token. Payments must be authenticated using a fingerprint scan or passcode.{{cite web|title=First Look: Samsung Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge Finally Gets a Premium Design|url=http://recode.net/2015/03/01/first-look-samsung-galaxy-s-6-galaxy-s-6-edge-finally-gets-a-premium-design/|website=Re/code|date=March 2015|access-date=1 March 2015}}{{cite web|title=Loop turns almost any point-of-sale system into a mobile payment machine (hands-on)|url=https://www.engadget.com/2013/10/08/loop-wallet-mobile-payments/|website=Engadget|date=October 8, 2013 |access-date=2 March 2015}}

In August 2016, security researcher Salvador Mendoza disclosed a potential flaw with Samsung Pay, arguing that its security tokens were not sufficiently randomized and could become predictable. He also designed a handheld device that could be used to skim magnetic secure transmission tokens, and another which could spoof magnetic stripes on actual card readers using the token. Samsung responded to the report, stating that "If at any time there is a potential vulnerability, we will act promptly to investigate and resolve the issue".{{cite web|title=Flaw in Samsung Pay lets hackers wirelessly skim credit cards|url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/flaw-in-samsung-pay-lets-hackers-wirelessly-skim-credit-cards/|website=ZDNet|access-date=2 September 2016}}

Samsung Pay will not work with devices that have compromised Knox security.

In May 2016, it was reported that Samsung was developing a spin-off of the service known as Samsung Pay Mini. This service will be used for online payments only, and is also being targeted as a multi-platform service.{{cite web|title=Samsung Pay Mini coming to other Androids, iPhone and desktop|url=http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_pay_mini_coming_to_other_androids_iphone_and_desktop-blog-18451.php|website=GSMArena|access-date=2 September 2016}}

In January 2017, Samsung has confirmed that Samsung Pay Mini will not only work on its Galaxy devices but on other Android phones as well, as long as they are running Android Lollipop or above and have a screen resolution of 1280 × 720 pixels or higher.{{cite web|url=http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-pay-mini-now-official-south-korea-will-be-coming-all-android-phones|title=Samsung Pay Mini now official, will be available for non-Galaxy phones|date=February 2, 2017}}{{cite web|url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/samsung-pay-mini-to-launch-for-android/|title = Samsung Pay Mini to launch for Android| website=ZDNet }}

In June 2017, Samsung launched Samsung Pay Mini which is currently available on Galaxy J7 Max/On Max phones (in India).{{cite web|url=http://www.samsung.com/in/samsung-pay/mini/|title = Samsung Pay mini - Mobile Payment Service}}

Availability is limited not just on the basis of where the payment card is issued, but also on the basis of the phone's country-specific code (CSC). Thus, a phone made for an unsupported region can never use Samsung Pay even if it physically resides in a supported region and has a local SIM card. The rather unrelated error message "Connection error. Unable to connect to Samsung Pay temporarily. Try again later." is how Samsung Pay reports this problem.

In June 2020, Samsung announced a partnership between Samsung Pay, Curve and Mastercard for the launch of Samsung Pay Card in the UK and more EE countries where Curve has customers later in 2020.

From September 2021, Samsung Pay Mini was made available for the Galaxy A and Galaxy M series.{{cite web|last=S.|first=Asif|date=2021-04-26|title=Samsung Pay Mini coming to more Galaxy A, Galaxy M series phones|url=https://www.sammobile.com/news/samsung-pay-mini-coming-more-galaxy-a-galaxy-m-series-phones/|access-date=2021-09-23|website=SamMobile|language=en-US}}{{cite web|title=Samsung Galaxy M31 Getting Samsung Pay mini Support in India|url=https://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/samsung-galaxy-m31-pay-mini-update-september-2021-android-security-patch-m315fxxu2buh6-changelog-2535380|access-date=2021-09-23|website=NDTV Gadgets 360|date=September 9, 2021 |language=en}}
