payment system to work in 90% of U.S. retail 
locations, with more being added every day. 
Simple to Set up and Use 
From registering your cards to making a purchase, 
using Samsung Pay is easy. When it’s time to pay, 
just launch the app, hold your Samsung device near 
the credit card terminal and authorize it with the 
touch of your �nger. It’s simple, secure and fast, so

Secure Your Information
