Samsung Pay – Mobile payment and digital wallet service by Samsung Electronics replace the plastic cards in your wallet.
It allows you to pay for goods and services by just using your Samsung device. You just need to wave your Samsung pay enabled Samsung devices near a cash register instead of swiping a credit card or inserting your payment information, a bit like Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Currently, it allows payments using debit cards, credit cards, mobile wallet, and UPI; all through a single app.

As of now Samsung Pay only works with selected Samsung handsets, making it inaccessible to many.
