Following in Google’s footsteps, Samsung recently announced a new Unified Wallet app. The new Samsung Wallet app is designed to give users access to all the features from Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass in one place. You can use it to store digital IDs, tickets, credit and debit cards, gift cards, and more. If you own a Galaxy smartphone and want to give it a go, you can now download Samsung Wallet from the Galaxy Store.
As Samsung mentioned in its original announcement, Samsung Wallet is currently limited to six markets outside the company’s home market in South Korea, namely France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. If you are on one of these sites, you can search for the app in the Galaxy Store on a Samsung Pay-enabled smartphone running Android 9.0 Lollipop or higher, or you can download it by following the link given below. Alternatively, you can open Samsung Pay or Samsung Pass on your Galaxy smartphone and follow the instructions to go to the new Wallet app. Note that some features require an eSE-enabled device.
What can you store in the new Samsung Wallet app?
Samsung says you can use the new Samsung Wallet app to store the following information:
- Payment cards
- Loyalty and Membership Cards
- passwords
- Digital keys (for home and cars)
- Korean Air Boarding Passes
You can also use the app to monitor your cryptocurrency wallet via the Samsung Blockchain Wallet app. Moreover, the app works seamlessly with SmartThings to help users open doors with digital keys. Currently, Samsung Wallet does not offer support for digital IDs, such as driver’s licenses and student IDs, but Samsung plans to roll out the functionality later this year.
Please note that some of the above features may not be available in certain regions. Samsung did not provide a detailed overview of the regional restrictions. If you have the Samsung Wallet app installed on your phone, be sure to leave a review highlighting the features available in your area.
