Samsung Pay Card

[ChoSmile]

Samsung Pay Card is the latest hit of the season.

It is a personalised/co-branded Curve card. 

Curve is free service that allow ANY Visa or Mastercard issued by Europe bank to be used via Samsung Pay, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Fitbit Pay, Garmin Pay or Wena Pay. 

My questions are:

1.

Is Samsung Pay Card can be used via MST (on old magnetic stripe pos devices) or it is only via NFC?

2.

If not - any plans to enable MST for current Curve and Samsung Pay Card users

Best regards,

Hi @ChoSmile 

Samsung Pay Card is available only in UK, and MST is not actually supported here as all cards issued are NFC.

MST is mostly  available in countries where NFC penetration is low (US for example) and more and more merchants and banks are shifting (slowly) to NFC.

More details here (or you can always contact support): https://www.samsung.com/uk/samsung-pay/
