Samsung Pay will come to the US on September 28th
Samsung Pay was originally announced with the Galaxy S6, but no official date was ever set for the service. Now that the Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+ are official, Samsung has given us a date for the service to go live in the US.
The mobile payment system is going up in South Korea this month, but the US can expect it on September 28th. The details of the service are the same that they’ve always been, so it’s still going to be a (mostly) universal solution for processing payments. Retailers won’t need specialized equipment so long as they have a standard card reader, which almost all brick and mortar stores in the US do at this point. NFC payments will be supported for shops that do have an NFC reader attached to their payment terminal.
After waiting months for this to finally be available, what’s another five weeks going to hurt?
