How to enable Samsung Pay: basic principles
There is only one way to connect the application and link cards to it. This requires a Samsung device with an embedded NFC chip for contactless payment.
The smartphone must also have an application of the same name installed, and for smart watches, you must create a binding of the latter to the phone.
Samsung J6 is the only smartphone in its lineup that supports contactless payment. To set it up, you need:
- Install Samsung Pay.
- Launch the application and set up a pin code to verify and confirm payment.
- Select the type of card you want to attach.
- Enter information or take a photo of the card.
- Accept the user agreement of the bank and the payment system.
- Request SMS with verification code.
By entering the code, the user will connect the card to the device. Up to 10 bank cards can be added in this way.
Samsung J8
Launched in 2018, the smartphone impressed users by not having an NFC chip.
This decision surprised many, as contactless payment is available on many cheaper models.
On many modern models of Samsung gadgets, the Samsung Pay application is installed by default.
How can a phone replace a bank card?
If the information contained on the card is written to the mobile device, the devices that read the card can also read the phone.
Samsung Pay works with payment terminals using two technologies:
- Near field communication (NFC) – data transmission over very short distances, acts like bluetooth, but in the “near field”. Accepted by specially equipped new terminals.
- Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) – secure transmission of the magnetic field. Works with terminals that accept magnetic stripe cards (there are many of them).
Then the payment data is transferred to the bank, checked and become the basis for transferring money.
Samsung Pay is a program installed on your phone that uses your bank card information for money transactions. However, other phone systems and Samsung do not receive information to access card account money.
