I know earlier in the year we've been announcing that new cards will be added to Samsung Pay later in 2017...so for those that aren't aware yet, just wanted to share this piece of news:
"Mississauga, ON – November 1, 2017 – Samsung Electronics Canada Inc. today announced the expanded availability of Samsung Pay, the widely accepted mobile payment system that works almost anywhere you can swipe or tap a card.* Following a successful introduction with CIBC in the Canadian market, Samsung remains committed to enhancing Samsung Pay and making it a holistic digital wallet extending beyond credit cards with the introduction of debit cards and new partners including Interac Debit, Scotiabank, American Express Canada, ATB Financial, Visa Canada and Mastercard. In addition, Samsung Pay will be made available soon to Tangerine and Peoples Card Services customers."
I installed Samsung pay but every time I launch the app, it asks me to update it but it's already updated from the galaxy app store. anyone know why this is?
Hey @devilzblood, when exactly did you get this error? From my understanding our Pay team was in the process of deployment yesterday, which may have caused this one-time error. It should be resolved now so could you please give it another try? If the problem persists, you can also try going into Settings, Apps, Galaxy Apps, and then clearing the cache on that. That should also resolve any issues.
@Nick When will Samsung Pay support RBC? I'm not totally opposed to switching to a bank that supports SP, but I would rather just stay with the bank I've been with for years!
I've just switched from rbc since I doubt they will be support samsung pay. And I want to use samsung pay. Plus it's also cheaper for me with CIBC so it's a win win for me.
