Samsung Pay's Australian success also now available in six continents

ITWire recently spoke to Mark Hodgson, head of Samsung Pay in Australia, who shared his thoughts on the convenience of mobile wallets; in the meantime, Samsung has announced 1.3 billion Samsung Pay transactions.

Billed as being “simple, secure and almost anywhere”, Samsung Pay has reached that milestone globally in 24 markets – which has included Australia since June 2015, and which secured Australia’s four major banks by March 2018, for a total of 45 financial institutions in Australia at that time. Now comes Samsung Pay’s third anniversary, having originally launched in South Korea on 20 August 2015.

Since then, Samsung reports its payment service having “experienced significant global growth and is now available in six continents and 24 markets, including the latest market, South Africa”.

Samsung stated: “Thanks to the support and partnership of thousands of banks and countless network, merchant and service providers across the globe, Samsung recently passed more than 1.3 billion transactions globally.”
