Samsung Pass, the recently rebranded mobile wallet app for Galaxy smartphones in India, has expanded its mobile payment capabilities. Users in India who have the Samsung Pass feature can now make UPI transactions using their RuPay credit cards.
Previously, UPI payments through Samsung Pass were limited to bank accounts and specific debit cards. This update opens up a new payment method for RuPay credit cardholders, allowing them to enjoy the convenience of contactless transactions and potential benefits like rewards points and purchase protection offered by their credit cards. Linking the card is also straightforward, and done within the Samsung Wallet UPI.
For those unfamiliar, UPI is a popular Indian payment system enabling instant inter-bank transfers through virtual payment addresses. Transactions are secured by a PIN, similar to ATM withdrawals.
Beyond payments, Samsung Pass serves as a versatile digital wallet. Users can store various documents like driver’s licenses, loyalty cards, membership cards, and even boarding passes and movie tickets.
While this update offers a new payment option for RuPay credit cardholders, it’s important to note that the feature is currently limited to them. Mastercard and VISA credit cardholders, for now, can only utilize UPI payments through linked bank accounts within Samsung Pass.
In summary, Samsung Pass has expanded its mobile payment options in India by integrating RuPay credit cards into the UPI platform. This move offers Galaxy smartphone users with RuPay credit cards an additional way to make convenient and potentially rewarding contactless payments.
