Make Mobile Payments
Mobile payments may not be ready to completely replace your wallet just yet, but they can save you considerable time and hassle by allowing you to keep your credit and debit cards safely stored away while you pay with your smartphone.
Samsung Pay on your Galaxy S6 is accepted in more places than any other mobile payment platform thanks to Samsung’s dual approach of supporting most traditional magnetic card readers as well as the new NFC terminals that Android Pay and Apple Pay depend on.
