Samsung Pay reportedly set to launch in China, Spain and the UK early next year
June 04, 2025
Samsung Payhas seen a pretty limited rollout since its launch a few months ago, but the company’s mobile payment service might soon start rolling out to more regions. According to a new report out ofSamMobile, the South Korean company is planning to bring Samsung Pay to China, Spain and the U.K. sometime in Q1 2016. An exact rollout date has yet to be confirmed. Currently the service is only availablein the United Statesand South Korea, so the rollout to these new regions will certainly be welcome additions.
Samsung Pay originally launched on theGalaxy S6,Galaxy S6 Edge,Galaxy Note 5andGalaxy S6 Edge+back in August in Korea, and came to the United States just one month later. The company’sGear S2smartwatch recently got an update that brought support for the payment service, though it only supports payments through NFC. And now withthe addition of Verizon, all four major U.S. carriers (along with UScellular) support Samsung Pay.
In case you’re unfamiliar, Samsung Pay uses both NFC and MST to make mobile payments. You’ll need a VISA, MasterCard or American Express card from Bank of America, Citi or U.S. Bank in order to use the service at the moment, butSamsungsays support for more banks and cards will be added in the near future.
