While newer terminals with this capability are being installed more widely all the time, the fact is that many places do not yet have the equipment to accept Apple Pay and Android Pay, and not everyone who has the equipment actually seems to have it enabled. I’m not a true techie, but my layman’s understanding is that this requires a credit card terminal equipped with this special NFC technology so you can tap your phone to it and pay. However, Samsung Pay is significantly different from its competitors in the way the technology works.Īpple Pay and Google Pay, which are designed for iPhones and Android phones, rely on a technology called NFC (Near-field communication). Like Apple Pay and Google Pay (formerly called Android Pay), Samsung Pay is a mobile payment technology that allows you to use a mobile device to pay for in-store purchases. After my initial experiences, it’ll be a game-changer in my household. Samsung Pay is awesome, and just about anyone with an Android or Apple smartphone (See update below Samsung Pay is blocked on iPhones) in the US can get it and use it. However, I’vehad the chance to use a mobile payment technology over the past couple of years that should be of interest to rewards enthusiasts & travelers: Samsung pay. Mobile payments are all the rage these days but with some forms working at one register and not another, it can be confusing.
