Samsung Wallet service expansions

Overview

Samsung Wallet is expanding its digital service capabilities through new integrations and payment features across different regions.

In South Korea, Samsung Electronics partnered with Korail to launch a paperless ticketing service. This allows users to register mobile tickets within the Samsung Wallet after purchasing them at offline station counters or via the Korail+ app. The service includes refund capabilities and syncs with Galaxy device calendars to provide boarding notifications. This initiative is intended to reduce physical ticket production costs and support environmental protection.

In South Africa, Samsung introduced a ‘Scan to Pay’ QR code payment feature for Galaxy users. Provided by EFT Corp, this service enables faster in-store transactions by allowing users to scan QR codes instead of using physical cards, supporting a broader transition toward a cashless economy.
