How to add credit/debit cards to Samsung Wallet

Answer:

Samsung Pay is now part of Samsung Wallet. Once you've finished Samsung Wallet setup, you add your credit or debit card to it, so you can use it to make payments anywhere you see the Samsung Pay logo or "Samsung Pay accepted here" message or the NFC contactless payments symbol.

To add a new card to your wallet

• Navigate to and open the Samsung Wallet app on your phone.
• On the Quick Access tab, click on the "+" icon. Tap Payment cards.
• The app will activate the camera and you can scan your credit or debit card. Depending your card design, the card number may be on the front or the back of your card. You can also enter the card details manually or by tapping your NFC enabled card on the phone, by selecting the corresponding options on this screen.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to provide other necessary information and tap Next.
• You must agree to the card issuer's terms and conditions to proceed. If you have any questions about the terms, contact the card issuer.

Card verification

• You may need to verify your card. This step is a safety precaution at your card issuer's discretion to make sure no one suspicious is trying to use your card in Samsung Pay. You can verify them right away or wait until later.
• You can choose from any of the verification methods shown on-screen (these can depend on your bank and/or card provider) and follow the instructions in the app to complete verification. And remember, make sure you enter any information correctly.
