Samsung Pay is available on most Galaxy smartphones since 2015, as well as certain wearables, such as the Galaxy Watch Active. Read on to find out how to add cards and make payments with Samsung Pay!
How to add debit or credit cards to Samsung Pay
- After you’ve downloaded and installed the Samsung Pay app from the Galaxy Store or Play Store, open the app, allow the app access to your contacts, and tap “Pay” at the bottom of the screen
- Tap “Get started”, then sign in with your Samsung Account. You’ll then be prompted to register a PIN or your fingerprint, if you don’t have one set up already
- Tap “Add card”, then line up your bank card in the camera. The app will automatically detect your card number, its expiration date, and your billing address. You can also add your card manually or via NFC by tapping the buttons at the bottom of the screen

- Carefully read the Terms of Service, then tap agree to all
- Select how you want to verify your card, either by SMS or by email, then enter the code you receive
- Your payment card is now set up!
