Samsung Pay: Mobile Payment system is officially launched in India

After a long wait Samsung brings Pay in India!

The Samsung Pay is now official in India, the first mobile payment service in India. It is partnered with Visa, MasterCard and American Express for payment gateways. It currently supports Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, SBI Cards and Standard Chartered Bank cards, Citibank will be added soon in the list.

Samsung Pay has Paytm integration also that with which you can pay by scanning QR codes securely, generating one-time codes for merchant payments and can do peer to peer money transfers, as well as the government’s Unified Payments Interface in the app.

Samsung Pay works with Samsung’s patented Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) technology as well as with Near Field Communication (NFC). MST replicates a card swipe by wirelessly transmitting magnetic waves from the supported Samsung device to a standard card reader.

Through MST, Samsung pay will work seamlessly on a majority of Point of Sale terminals in India. It has three levels of security—fingerprint authentication, card tokenization and Samsung’s security platform Samsung KNOX.
