Samsung is encouraging UAE consumers to switch to safer alternatives such as mobile wallets to minimize potential hygiene issues while making purchases in stores. Samsung Pay, the brand’s mobile payment service, offers customers a convenient way to purchase anything through contactless payments in every corner of the country safely and securely.
Mobile wallet transactions have risen in hypermarkets across the region by 78% in Q1 2020 when compared with the same period a year ago. Samsung Pay aligns with this consumer trend and can be used to make safe, quick, and easy purchases from almost any location.
Mohammad Gharaibeh, Head of Enterprise, Mobile Business at Samsung Gulf Electronics, said “More and more customers are opting to use mobile wallets for daily purchases, thanks to the speed, convenience, and safety of contactless payment. As well as minimizing risk during uncertain times, Samsung Pay is customized to meet the needs of users in the UAE.”
Affiliated with major payment networks such as MasterCard and Visa, Samsung Pay provides greater flexibility, access, and choice for customers while ensuring a safe and straightforward payment experience.
By combining Near Field Communication (NFC) technology and its proprietary Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) technology, Samsung Pay works seamlessly on most point of sale terminals in the UAE.
