Samsung Wallet to be available in Canada by the end of January

But, don't we already have Samsung Wallet, you ask?  Well, I thought so too, but this is the 'wallet' and not just the Samsung Pay we already have.  It was in the name, I feel silly.

We've been able to use Samsung Pay in Canada for some time (if you have a Samsung device), you can even use it with TD...

Samsung Wallet will be the storage of more information than just a means to pay.

You'll have Pay (of course), then Pass, Keys, health information, etc...

Samsung Wallet will be Available in Eight New Markets

Now, more Galaxy users can enjoy a quick, easy, and more secure Samsung Wallet experience

 

Samsung Electronics today announced Samsung Wallet[1] will be available in eight new markets, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan[2] starting at the end of January. Samsung Wallet is a more secure, go-everywhere app to conveniently organize and use daily essentials.

 

“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.”

 

Last year, Samsung successfully launched the Samsung Wallet platform and expanded its services to 21 countries – Bahrain, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Kazakhstan, Korea[3], Kuwait, Norway, Oman, Qatar, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Vietnam, UAE, the U.K., and the U.S. In addition, by collaborating with a variety of trusted partners and developers, Samsung Wallet will also continue to grow and enrich customers’ daily lives.  

 

Protecting customer personal data and information is vital. Samsung Wallet goes above and beyond to better safeguard customer data by storing it in a secure environment to help protect it from malware and other potential threats.
