No more searching your wallet for a MetroCard, only to realize you left it at home. No more waiting in line to buy a new card, only to miss your train. Just use Samsung Pay at the turnstile or bus terminal and you\u2019re on your way\u00b9. That&#8217;s several New York minutes saved\u2014so you can spend time doing more of what you want.<\/p>\n<p>The addition of mass transit is an important step in helping you sail through your day with Samsung Pay. It\u2019s also part of our vision for a world built around mobile wallets.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung Pay is on millions of Samsung Galaxy devices in more than 24 markets on six continents around the world. Samsung Pay currently supports 2000+ banks and credit unions and hundreds of merchants, with more on the way.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because Samsung Pay works almost anywhere you can tap or swipe a card. It\u2019ll work virtually anywhere contactless payments or magnetic stripe readers are accepted, which makes it the most convenient service for mobile payments on the market. And it\u2019s secure.Samsung Pay can only be opened by you and it\u2019s protected by the defense-grade security of Samsung Knox.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, it\u2019s much more than a wallet (and a lot less bulky). It\u2019s a marketplace where shoppers can access great deals and experiences in-store and online from hundreds of popular brands and retailers. You can even see great deals near you in the Nearby section and connect your many membership and loyalty cards for even more savings. And, with every purchase you make, you may earn cash back awards or get extra perks through Samsung Rewards.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll keep adding more features and services to Samsung Pay to give people more convenient ways to shop, save, and get from point A to point B\u2014or from Atlantic Avenue to Union Square \u2013 and eventually everywhere in between.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more information on MTA\u2019s OMNY program, visit <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/omny.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/omny.info\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more information on Samsung Pay, visit <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.samsung.com\/samsungpay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.samsung.com\/samsungpay<\/a><em>. <\/em><\/p>\n<h6>\u00b9 Compatible with Samsung Pay enabled phones (S6 + later) and wearables (Gear S2, Gear S3, Gear Fit2, Gear Sport, Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Watch Active)<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting around the city that never sleeps is about to get a little easier for Samsung Pay users.
