Samsung Wallet
Faster and easier is always evolving. By combining Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass into one, you’ll be able to store passwords, addresses and card details for easier online browsing and shopping. All your bank accounts, credit cards, keys and those boarding passes scattered around your inbox can be stored as well. The entire Wallet is kept safe and secure as possible by allowing access through your biometric data as well as PIN number.
How to pay using Samsung Wallet
