The cards on Samsung Pay are digital copies of your physical cards. If you lose your physical card and then receive a replacement card from your bank or financial institution, you should delete the original card from Samsung Pay and replace it with the information from your new physical card.

Samsung Pay uses Near Field Communication (NFC) to make contactless mobile payments.

- Start by either swiping-up from the home button or opening the Samsung Pay app from your home screen.
- Next, select the card you want to pay with.
- You can authenticate by intelligence scan (available on Galaxy Note9), iris scanner (available on Galaxy Note9, S9+, S9, Note8, S8+ and S8 phones), fingerprint or pin.
- Tap your phone on the card reader where you’d usually tap your physical card to complete the transaction.

When paying with Samsung Pay you will receive a receipt for your purchases just as you would with a physical card. You will also receive a notification confirming your transaction, but you will not receive a separate physical or digital receipt from Samsung Pay.

All purchases made through Samsung Pay can be returned according to the store’s policies. If you return an item paid for through Samsung Pay, the store may require you to hold your phone over the NFC reader to complete the return.

An active internet connection is not required to make in-store purchases, but your phone should connect to the internet at least once per day to ensure that Samsung Pay stays up to date and remains active. You can perform several authentications/transactions during a period without internet access, after which your phone will need an internet connection before additional authentications will process. Samsung Pay does require an active internet connection to activate the app or add a new card.

Simply open the app and tap on a card to see all the Samsung Pay transactions made with that card. Additionally, a push notification with transaction details will be sent to your phone after each Samsung Pay purchase. Note: Push notifications require an active internet connection.

No, the card displayed in Samsung Pay will not always exactly match your physical card. The key points to look for are:
1. The Card Issuer
2. The Card Network

The last card you viewed in Samsung Pay will automatically appear as your default card the next time you open the app. However, you can go to settings to select a default card. Finally, you can always swipe through all the cards you have added and select a different card before making a purchase.

Cards can be easily added to Samsung Pay by using your phone’s camera to scan your card information, or by manually inputting the card information yourself. Then, depending on your bank or financial institution policies, Samsung Pay will prompt you to verify your identity through a bank app, a text message, an email, or a phone call.

Samsung Pay allows you to make 5 attempts to unlock the application by authenticating with Intelligence scan or Iris scanner (on selected phones), fingerprint or PIN. After 5 attempts, the device then requests a security password (also 5 attempts). Thereafter, using an incorrect security password locks the phone for 30 seconds. The process is repeated 20 times (each block is longer) and then all data is deleted.

It depends on each issuing bank, but as a general rule 15 min.

Refunds are done in the same way as purchases, and the user should follow the store’s refund policy.

You can add a total of 10 credit or debit cards and up to 300 loyalty cards into Samsung Pay.

Yes, however, the total number of phones you can add a card to may vary. Please contact your card issuer for more details on the number of phones that you can add your card to.

Yes, as long as you have an active connection to the internet. However, attempting to add and activate a card while you are outside the United Kingdom may require you to contact your bank.

Samsung Pay uses Tokenization and Samsung KNOX to secure your payment information.
On the Galaxy Note9 you can use intelligence scan technology to keep your transactions secure. On the Galaxy Note9, S9+, S9, Note8, S8 and S8+, you can use iris scanning technology to keep your transactions secure. On the S7 edge, S7, S6 edge+, S6 edge, S6, A32017, A5 2017 and J5 2017 your fingerprint or a 4-digit PIN is required to authorize in-store purchases.

Samsung Pay uses network tokenization technology that replaces your real card details with a dynamic digital token that is transmitted instead of your physical card’s number. So your transactions remain secure, and your card details stay safe.

Samsung KNOX scans to see if your phone is secure, and disables Samsung Pay if your phone is compromised in order to protect your payment information. Samsung Knox also includes a security design whereby highly sensitive operations and information, such as fingerprint and payment information, are kept on a separate computer chip known as a “secure environment.” Normal applications or malware have no access to the information inside it.

No, Samsung Pay does not store your personal /payment information on a Samsung server or on your phone. Samsung Pay does not change the way your payment information is stored or handled when you make purchases. Your payment information will continue to be managed by your card network and bank or financial institution. Only a device-specific token, which is used to replace your sensitive payment information, is stored temporarily on your phone.

If your phone is lost or stolen, you can use Samsung’s Find My Mobile service to find it. The cards and payment information on Samsung Pay will remain safe and secure, but you also have the option of disabling cards remotely.

No, Samsung Pay does not have access to your bank accounts.

No. A hard reset of your phone or “restoring factory default settings” will delete all cards registered to your phone.

Go into the Samsung Pay app, select Loyalty Cards, Add Loyalty Cards. Follow the set up process and then select and scan your digital loyalty card as you would your normal loyalty card when making transactions.

The redemption of points or credits is done by the merchant systems after you have scanned your loyalty card on Samsung Pay. The process is the same as if you have swiped your membership card. Loyalty cards are subject to merchant terms and conditions.

Simply select the Samsung Pay button at checkout within supported apps, then authenticate.
Once you click on the Samsung Pay button, your default payment card will be displayed on the initial purchase. You can choose a different card to pay with by clicking on the card art displayed on the window.
