Samsung Pay

[Fayez]

Hi,

I live in the UK currently and I bought my S24 ultra and watch 7 from here and have been using my Wise card without any problem, recently my country Saudi Arabia allowed the use of samsung pay so I tried to add my local bank cards from there using samsung pay but it won't work, it says could not add card, try again later,,so I have been thinking if samsung wallet is country locked and if so, what can I do about it? I saw some people talking about changing csc and I fear i would lose my data or warranty, I contacted my local bank and they say you can register easily and they people from there have been using it without any issue, so I am wondering if it is related to samsung wallet policy of some sort..Any help?

Hello @Fayez 

Unfortunately using a phone in one region and then trying to add certain cards may not work especially with Samsung Pay / Wallet. 

As I mentioned in your other thread here >  https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-s24-series/samsung-pay-plus-and-samsung-watch  ,  I use Google Pay / Wallet. 

When I imported a phone from Hong Kong to be used in the UK one of the caveats was that Samsung Pay / Wallet wouldn't work correctly, so yes it can be a limitation / restriction for using that particular payment option. 

I would suggest against going down the route of attempting to change the phone's csc. 

If you perform a forum search you will find existing threads with some further help or guidence within in regards to Samsung Wallet and csc discussions. 

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎

Hi @Fayez 

Would Google Wallet work for you instead?

[Fayez]

Yeah I have been using Google wallet, i just want to integrate my payment experience using my samsung watch

Oh I see, I'm sorry I can't help with that one as I never use my watch to pay for anything, but i do think that google wallet works on a Samsung watch though, as long as it's running wear os 2.0 and above.

would you kindly guide me on how I can set it up or share a thread that teaches me this? much appreciated

I've never set it up myself but I guess that you'll need the Google wallet app on both your phone and watch for it to work.
