Posted on: 02/Feb/2017 12:11:35 PM
Samsung Electronics has said that it will launch a mobile web payments service for all smartphones powered by Google Android mobile operating system in South Korea in the first quarter.

The service will be called Samsung Pay Mini. This service will allow Android smartphones to make online transactions in Samsung`s home country after downloading a dedicated app.

The new service augments Samsung`s existing Samsung Pay payments platform, which allows users to make offline credit or debit card transactions through a supported Samsung smartphone or smartwatch.

Previously, Samsung executives said, We are open to offering Samsung Pay services for non-Galaxy smartphones at some point and planned to eventually add online transactions to the mobile payments platform. The offline capability will remain limited to Samsung devices.
