The world's most widely accepted mobile payment service now available in 21 markets

Mar. 22, 2018 – Samsung Electronics announced today that Samsung Pay is now available in Italy, marking its ongoing commitment to bringing payment innovation to users around the globe. With the addition of Italy, Samsung Pay now enables users in 21 markets to benefit from simple and secure payments almost anywhere¹.

Samsung's commitment to transforming the mobile industry was recognized at the annual Global Mobile Awards (GLOMO Awards) during Mobile World Congress 2018, which awarded Samsung Pay 'Best Mobile Innovation for Payment'. The service was praised not only for being innovative, but also for bringing consumers the world's first integrated rewards program²; each time users purchase with Samsung Pay, they can earn points to be exchanged for a variety of prizes.

"We strive to deliver the best experiences to our customers. The rapid growth of Samsung Pay has been made possible by Samsung's commitment to an open model of collaboration around the world, resulting in over 1,700 partnerships, including payment providers Visa and Mastercard®," said Yongje Kim, Executive Vice President of Service Business Office, Mobile Communications Business at Samsung Electronics. "Its continued support for both MST and NFC payments has also enhanced adoption, enabling market access in countries that support either payment option."
