Samsung Pay is yet another option end users have to make payments using just their device. Samsung’s dedicated payment portal was made officially available on September 28th and most US carriers kicked the support through to devices. Verizon, not so much. Good news for Galaxy owners on Big Red though, as Verizon has announced, via Twitter, that they will begin pushing out a software update in the near future to enable Samsung Pay.
You will need to own a Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, Note 5 or Galaxy S6 Edge+ of course. Once the updates start to hit devices users will be able to add their debit/credit cards through the app and make payments at a variety of stores across the nation via NFC and MST. Your card will need to be a VISA, MasterCard or American Express and your banking is limited to Bank of America, Citi or U.S. Bank. Samsung is working to get more banks and cards on the list.
Samsung Pay will be supported on compatible Verizon smartphones (Galaxy S 6, S 6 edge, Note5, S6 edge +) through a future software update.

The news is good for those that meet the above requirements. Be on the look out Galaxy owners on Big Red, you too can soon give Samsung Pay a test run.
