Is Samsung Pay secure?

Samsung Pay uses Tokenization and Samsung Knox to secure your payment information. Additionally, your fingerprint or a 4-digit Samsung Pay PIN is required to authorise in-store purchases, or iris scanning on compatible devices.

To protect your card:

You must not choose a Samsung Pay PIN that can be easily guessed by anyone else or tell anyone else what your device passcode is; and you must ensure that you do not store anyone else's fingerprint or Iris scan within your Samsung device.

Do I need to have an active internet connection for Samsung Pay to work?

An active internet connection is not required to make in-store purchases, but your phone should connect to the internet at least once per day to ensure that Samsung Pay stays up to date and remains active. You can perform several authentications / transactions during a period without internet access, after which your phone will need an internet connection before additional authentications will process. Samsung Pay does require an active internet connection to activate the app or add a new card.

I have been prompted for a one-time passcode when adding a card to Samsung Pay. What is this and why is it required?

For security purposes, we may ask you to enter a one-time passcode to confirm your identity. This code is a unique series of numbers and will be sent via text. Once received, please enter the one-time passcode into the appropriate field.
