Those who have a Samsung smartphone would like to enjoy full functionality. Including samsung pay. But no one can link this card and start paying contactless with it. Support for Mir cards in this payment system has not yet appeared. The problem is the novelty of these services, they appeared relatively recently, so the card is not supported in Samsung Pay.

Which devices Samsung Pay is supported on:

• Galaxy S line (from series 6*);
• Galaxy A line 2016 (A5 and A7);
• Galaxy A line 2017;
• Galaxy Note 5;
• Gear S3.

* – Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge only support NFC payment. Payment via MST is not available on these models.

The payment system will not work on other devices, as well as on those from this list that were purchased in another country. It’s not worth wondering how to connect Samsung Pay to smartphones with Root rights or unofficial firmware, because. there is no such possibility and never will be due to the lack of security on these devices.

To find out the reasons, you need to start by connecting Samsung Pay. You must have one of the chips on your device:

• NFC is a common chip for short-range transmission of information;
• MST – magnetic, developed by Samsung.

In the absence of this functionality, the operation of the contactless payment system is impossible. Also, the service will not work if there is no registration of a Samsung account.

Only new models of the manufacturer support this service: starting from Galaxy S6, edge, Note5, as well as galaxy a10. If you are unable to set up contactless payment, your phone is out of date. You may also be hindered by an old version of the OS firmware that has not been updated for a long time.

If Samsung Pay card is not supported, please check if it is compatible. The service works with cards of some banks: Sberbank, VTB, Alfa, etc. You can connect only visa and master cards. If you cannot link your card to a payment system, check which one it is.

The reason for the error in operation is due to non-original firmware on the phone. Users often root their smartphone to take full advantage of the operating system. When modifying the firmware, work with finances and accounts is blocked for security.

How does Samsung Pay work?

Payment is very easy. To pay, just open the application with a swipe up and bring your phone to the bank terminal, confirming the purchase. All user data is stored in encrypted form, and information about virtual cards is transmitted to the terminal, which allows you to keep real data safe. No commission is charged for this.

Samsung Pay is a system that allows you to make payments using just your smartphone. You can link any number of cards to a specialized application and not carry them with you, using only your smartphone. However, often owners of smartphones that support this system encounter problems that prevent them from using this feature. The main reasons can be:

• mismatch of the firmware version for the e-wallet to the country where you are located. The system will not function properly if you are in a country where this function is not supported (a complete list can be viewed on the official website of the smartphone manufacturer). You can check the compliance in the settings, in the “Model number” section, the information is contained in the “Serial number” and “IMEI information” lines. The last two indicators must match, otherwise the payment system will not work;
• Incorrect date and time setting. This data must be synchronized with the time zone you are in, otherwise the system cannot function.
• malfunction of the NFS-chip, ingress of moisture or pollution into it;
• problems on the part of the bank or terminal. Often problems arise not with the system in the phone, but with the operation itself, the card or the payment terminal.

Before making a payment, Samsung Pay requires successful identification of the user of the application by fingerprint or PIN code, and only after that the data is transmitted to the payment terminal. When making a contactless payment at a payment terminal, Samsung Pay uses an NFC-secured signal to send payment data to the terminal.

If the payment terminal does not support contactless payment technology and only accepts bank cards using a contact chip and/or magnetic stripe, Samsung Pay uses MST technology, using a variable magnetic field to transmit payment data in the magnetic stripe format of a bank card.
