Samsung Pay

Samsung Pay for Android is the system designed by the South Korean multinational company to be able to pay with their phones in different shops and services.

The app to pay with your Samsung phone

Paying by phone is becoming more and more a habit and now we can find many shops and businesses that accept this method of payment for purchases and services. iPhone users can use Apple Pay while Android users can use Android Pay. However, if you have a Samsung, you can use the app developed and optimized for its smartphones by the Korean multinational: Samsung Pay

Contactless payment with your phone

It's an app to make payments with our phone, compatible with some of the main banks in the world and also with all kinds of department stores and smaller shops. Installing the APK on your phone eliminates the need to carry cash, credit or debit cards. All you have to do is hold your phone next to the reader.

It's accepted anywhere contactless is available, and you don't have to worry about your security - at least that's what Samsung says. It's designed using the same criteria as the credit or debit cards you pay with.
