Samsung Wallet is a digital wallet platform developed by Samsung. It is available for the Android operating system, and was announced on February 9, 2022, at the February 2022 Samung Unpacked event.

History

The "Samsung Wallet" brand name was first used for the company's mobile wallet system of the same name, which was introduced in 2013 before being migrated into a new app called Samsung Pay in 2018.[1] Samsung Wallet now contains the Samsung Pay service for payment cards, alongside other features such as cryptocurrency assets and digital credentials. Although in South Korea both the service and the app are still known as Samsung Pay.

Features

Samsung Wallet allows users to store items such as payment cards, loyalty cards, boarding passes, digital keys, and vaccination cards.[2] It replaces the old Samsung Pay app on Android-powered Galaxy devices and is currently available in the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, South Korea, and the UK.[3]

Samsung Wallet also supports a variety of transit cards, such as T-money and cashbee in South Korea, as well as Octopus in Hong Kong. However, due to the region-specific nature of Samsung Wallet, users from other regions are not able to utilize these transit cards from their own devices.[4]

Samsung also has announced that digital government ID and campus ID cards will be coming later to the app.
