Samsung Wallet will be available in eight more countries

In June 2022, Samsung merged the Samsung Pass and Samsung Pay apps into one app called Samsung Wallet. However, the availability was limited to select markets. Now, the company has announced the rollout of Samsung Wallet in eight more countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan. 

Samsung will begin the rollout of the Samsung Wallet in these eight countries starting at the end of January 2023. For the unaware, the Samsung Wallet is already available in Bahrain, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Kazakhstan, Korea, Kuwait, Norway, Oman, Qatar, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Vietnam, UAE, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

“When Samsung launched Samsung Wallet last year, we committed to building the experience through open partnerships with our business and service providers and ensuring access to the platform for as many people as possible,” said Jeanie Han, EVP and Head of Digital Wallet Team at Mobile eXperience Business, Samsung Electronics. “Over the past several months, we’ve worked hard to rapidly expand the availability of Samsung Wallet, bringing the platform to more potential users. We look forward to sharing exciting new developments in the year ahead.”

Samsung Wallet allows users to securely store flight boarding passes, digital ID cards, digital keys, credit and debit cards, gift cards, membership cards, and health certificates. Users can also share digital keys with their family members or friends. Samsung Wallet is available only on Samsung devices and is secured by the Samsung Knox technology. The company is also expected to add more features to Samsung Wallet later this year.
