How do I pay with Samsung Pay?

To pay with Samsung Pay, you must first add your eligible Card(s) to the Samsung Pay app on your compatible Samsung device.

At a store with supported Near Field Communication (NFC) and/or Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) payment terminals, simply:

  1. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to the top to launch Samsung Pay and select your desired Card by swiping left or right
  2. Use your fingerprint or enter your PIN to authenticate the payment
  3. Tap your phone on the NFC contactless reader or the MST card reader

You will then see a "Tick" on your device along with a subtle vibration and beep to let you know that your payment information has been sent. A push notification with payment details will also be sent after each successful transaction.

How secure is a Samsung Pay transaction?

Your Card in Samsung Pay is protected by your fingerprint or Samsung Pay PIN. For your security, when you make a purchase using Samsung Pay, you must authorise the payment with your fingerprint or Samsung Pay PIN. A digital card number, separate and unique from your plastic Card account number, is used to make a purchase with Samsung Pay. All of your payment information will be stored securely on your phone using Samsung KNOX. Your plastic Card details are never shown in the app or shared with the merchant when you make payments.
