✨New Feature available in Samsung Wallet 💳

[Samsung_Ben]

Hey Samsung Members! 👋

Can you believe it is October already? I see the leaves changing and know that winter is around the corner. 🍁🍂

Anyway, I have some news to share. We just launched a new feature in Samsung Wallet! 💳

You can now setup a credit card as your transit card and tap you Galaxy device at a transit reader.

Even while the screen is off, the reader will detect the credit card you have designated as your transit card! 🚇🚌🚃

How simple is that? Travelling has become quicker for those commuters and transit riders! 😎🎉

Need help setting up your card? 

Steps below:

1. Open the Samsung Wallet app
2. Click on the “All” tab and under the Transit Card section tap “+ select from payment cards”.
3. You will then be prompted to a screen with a brief description of the “Transit Card” feature. Read and then click OK to continue.
4. Select the credit card linked to your Samsung Wallet that you would like to use as your default transit card. 
5. Now you are all set! Remember, you can always review your transit transactions by going back to the Transit Card section and selecting you designated transit card. 
6. The credit card assigned as a Transit Card will only work at transit terminals. Like any other transaction, it will remain in pending status until confirmed. 

Please note:

Only compatible with Visa, MasterCard and American Express credit cards from participating banks. 

We are working to support Interac/Debit for future Samsung Wallet updates. 👐

Happy travelling Members! 🚇🚌🚃

Cheers,

From the Samsung Members team 🙂

If I wanted to talk my phone problem where I have to contact, I already contacted samsung care , I visited service center but no solution. 😔

Can we use it while the phone is dead or powered off like apple allows?

[Brutual]

Even with the phone off readers can scan your card, doesn't sound very secure to me.

[Jinathan]

That's exactly what I think as well. This system doesn't sound secure at all .

[Eversley]

I don't think that you can scan with the phone off, I use it and I have to actually open the app, select the card I want to use, and I have to use my fingerprint, then tap to pay, I can't see how you can do that with the phone off or dead, you need the internet or Wi-Fi
