Samsung Wallet in Belgium

[RiMe]

When will be Samsung Wallet available in Belgium ? Not only for the payment, but also as key and remote control for my new BMW i4 !!! We don't understand that Samsung don't prioritise the development, at least as key and card holder if payment aren't accepted at country level.

Please !!!

Any new's ? It's a pity for Samsung... A phone 1500€ and impossible to full connect to my BMW.. A watch 350€ and impossible to pay in Belgium !!! Really !!!

This is becoming an absolute disgrace and joke. Our phones cost more than 1000 euros, have all the bells and whistles, have AI features, fantastic cameras and everything else you'd expect from premium devices. It then has the necessary hardware for UWB (Ultra Wide Band) to use the digital keys with our BMW'S and other car brands but because no Benelux bank wants to support a Samsung Wallet payment method (which makes sense as we can all use Google Pay anyway) for this reason I cannot add my car's digital key. Make it make sense please, this feature is also years old already, works in all the other countries and could you just be enabled by 2 lines of code. I absolutely regret buying this phone and there is no excuse. What is Samsung going to do, NEVER support digital keys in BENELUX? I am going to log a request with TestAankoop and other parties for consumer protection as I bought this phone with UWB assuming it would work as a digital car key or digital key for door locks (the only use cases UWB has currently) and I cannot use it for that. That is false advertising and should be punished or fixed.

Samsung had years to enable this by doing nothing and let us use Google Wallet to use it (Like you can on Huawei and Oppo devices) instead they actively block us from using this feature.

I am fed up, and please lrovide feedback that confirms either when this will be enabled or that this will never be enabled and I can get rid of this phone that I laughing in my face every day when I drive my car and feel stupid while people with a dumb old iPhone can do things my fancy phone can't.

Hallo @Sora01,

Bedankt voor jouw bericht en feedback. Kan je een screenshot delen of de link waar we aangeven dat in Benelux zou werken? Ik geef dit gelijk dan ook intern door. 

Met groet,

Ajay

 hey Ajay-A:

Op de Samsung Belgie website staat op de feature lijst de UWB functionaliteit geadverteerd, ook op andere webshops/partners. Maar zonder Samsung Wallet kan je UWB niet gebruiken dus dit is niet okay.

(Kan je ook aangeven waarom in goddnaam na al die jaren er geen andere oplossing komt om dit gwn via de Google Wallet app te laten verlopen zoals dit voor Google Pay ook uiteindelijk is gekomen?)
