Be it a newspaper at the kiosk or lunch in a restaurant – with Samsung Pay you can now make mobile payments very easily and securely. Samsung Pay not only works using Near Field Communications (NFC) but also via Magnetic Secure Transmission technology (MST). So you can even make mobile payments at terminals that have only a magnetic stripe reader. All you need for Samsung Pay is a compatible Samsung smartphone or smartwatch, as well as credit card from Cembra Money Bank .
Also flexible online
With Samsung Pay, you can also flexibly pay online. Several large dealers in Switzerland already offer Samsung Pay as a means of payment. You can thus also buy easily online with your Samsung smartphone without interrupting your purchase if you do not happen to have your credit card to hand. You can confirm the transaction very easily on your smartphone using iris recognition, finger print or PIN entry. Find out more .
