My UK debit card is no longer working through my Samsung Wallet on my S21ultra. However, it works in my Google Wallet app. Therefore I would like to use Google wallet as my Swipe-up payment app. Why won't Samsung let me do this? I have already made Google Wallet my default NFC payment option, and also my double-press side button as well.
Don't know why my debit card will not work through Samsung anymore, I've verified the details numerous times?
Technically, the Samsung Wallet is region locked based on the country code built-in phone system. Therefore, appropriate payment cards used in that region can be added into samsung wallet. The security methods are different from the Google wallet.
If you mean to say that, you can only add credit / debit cards from Financial Institutions in the country where Samsung Wallet was registered initially, that is correct. However you can travel to other countries, and use the cards added from your home country, anywhere that you can use your credit / debit cards... in other words, I can use Samsung Wallet, in any countries where my Canadian credit / debit cards are accepted.
That's right. Once your appropriate payments cards are added into samsung wallet seccucessfully, you can use them with a Samsung wallet around the world. I am using my watch / phone with Samsung wallet wherever I travel to. Certainly, it's very convenient and enjoyable. In addition, one more limitation from a security point of view is that only less than $200 bills can be paid by Samsung wallet per my experiences so many years. Technically, you still need to carry your physical credit cards with you for paying big hotel fees or big items in stores.
