Good. I used samsung pay before google pay. It is perfect for few months. It is just suddently dissapeared after I got used to.
It is easy to use. Come with the samsung device. No need additional installation. Maybe it is properly secure. Faster than Google pay
It is no longer exist. It is a lot of updated, sometime I have to re-enroll the credit card. It is ennoying when it is happened. The updated requires a little learning for the new features.

It's close to Apple & Google Pay but I give it the edge where Samsung will but incentives on.
Aesthetically looks great and very simple to add your Debit & Credit cards. Samsung also has contests from time to time where you can win prizes but also refer friends and you get cash back!
Sometimes my TD cards will randomly not work and I have to remove them and re-add them to my wallet, this happens every couple of months.

I have tons of benefits by using samsung pay. I personally think it is much safer than google pay, but samsung phone itself is very valuable when it comes to security, so I should be always aware of it.
I travelled to South korea often. As Samsung pay user, it is very accessible every store and restaurants as apple pay is very limited even though they just introduce the system in south korea. I really like about paying for tube fare with my phone, and I don't need to worry about losing my wallet.
One of the critical cons about samsung pay is if you lose your phone, it becomes very complicated problem. And also, If your phone is on low battery, samsung pay is not working. I also had some trouble using samsung pay while travelling other countries where they don't have NFC payment system.

Samsung Pay allow me to save some money by participating in special offers and earning points.
Easy to add and manage credit cards. Nice to have special offers.
The gift cards and membership cards section is missing some very common retailers like TJMax. For that reason I have to use Samsung Pay for payments and Google Pay for gift cards. How disappointing!

As a Samsung pay user, always use my Samsung phone as wallet, very easy to use and will work at all the places even where Google pay doesn't work. Observed it will work like swipe card as well where NFC is not in place.
Biggest disappointment is rewards and is based on number of transactions and not based on amount. The awards aggregate is not so great and taking long time to use.

It was not a bad experience in the early days of the app, but honestly it doesn't seem as widely used as I thought it was supposed to be. If it and I don't know it then they should find a better way to inform Samsung mobile phone users. Perhaps a series of rolling notifications to let me know it's accepted at every terminal Google pay is. I just don't know much about the app anymore. It would help if I were reminded.
I liked how it was integrated with my Samsung mobile Phone. It made in app purchasing quick, and the app is intuitive if you have a Samsung Phone.
I am a purist so I almost always have my wallet and debit card on me. When the app first came out I was keen to use it, but over time Google Pay just proliferated. This may not still be the case but when the Samsung Pay app first came out it was not accepted at many POS terminals near me. So I stopped using it. Then recently I had a few experiences where I happened to leave my wallet at home. I had a new Samsung Phone but had not enabled the app. I also did not remember my debit card to enter it in. But somehow Google pay was working. It was because I had used it on my desktop to purchase something online and it saved my information. I was saved! Ever since then I have used Google pay. Google did a better job of integrating it. Perhaps it was just my luck, but I have also never had a terminal not accept Google pay.

overall Samsung Pay is easy way to pay bills and makes shopping easy!
It makes the payment easy, I don't have to carry my credit cards everywhere and don't have to worry about losing my card.
the app stop working sometimes, which may be due to my phone being old, other than that I had no issues so far.

I enjoy the convenience of using Samsung Pay. I've even noticed some places accept Samsung pay, and not apple pay, such as all my local Krogers.
Sometimes, privacy is a concern for me. However, Samsung pay uses my finger print in order to work, so I feel a little better about it.

I just carry my cards with me or pay cash. Updating the Samsung Pay and messing with it is not worth my time. Tap and Pay is awesome.
I do like the option of being able to pay seamlessly and have my information online without having to carry my cards.
I don't like how it will automatically assume that I want to pay for my purchases with auto pay. And updating my information has been a bit of a pain.

The Samsung Pay app works great if you have a Samsung Pay, but is less universal than Android Pay, and really doesn't do anything to stand out of the pack.
Samsung Pay is like any other app used for paying with you phone. Its quick and convenient, and when setup correctly its nice to not have to carry around multiple cards in your wallet.
Although it has gotten much better, this app does not eliminate the need for a physical card. Not all registers accept Samsung Pay.

Samsung Pay has a high potential to be one of the top mobile payment because of convenient and satisfaction it gaves. I truly see it and appreciate the convenient using this good application.

Ill have to give Samsung Pay a hard 6
I love the ability to use Samsung Pay because I am a die hard Samsung fan but.... Samsung Pay is just not accepted as widely as the other NFC pay apps. Sometimes I've went into establishments that don't state they accept Samsung Pay and it works but its rare, it's just not everywhere.
Samsung Pay isn't as popular with most establishments as the the other NFC payments apps are. I'm all for Samsung, but it's just not available. Maybe I'll give it another try in the future.

Samsung pay is a great convenient way to pay for anything in merchants. It also can send money to your love ones.
The convenient way it has will also be an negative side. You can pay anything just using your phone but if your phone died you can purchased anything too.

One of the revolutionary way to pay for purchase, which has minimized many traditional card-carrying methods, and brought marvelous near-field communication technology to process at tab to pay terminals. With the samsung pay there is no charge to use samsung pay from chase, but an active data plan is required.
load as many credit and debit card, works with number of international banks, and secured transaction on top of that on every eligible purchase one gets rewards point for loyalty. No need to enter card number and name after shopping online and no more hassles of input, just use your fingerprint or iris scanner to purchase product successfully. Plenty of applications with just one tap.
Samsung pay does work with most of the merchants and local stores, It doesn't work at gas stations and hence you might need to carry an optional card.

Overall, Google pay is very convenient and quick but I suggest something more professional (e.g. Applepay, Samsung Pay)
This software is used very common, making it easy to get paid or send a payment. It also offers rewards for referring people who don't use it yet .
I don't feel like the security is top-notch, so I try to be extra cautious when using it.

I had to switch to google pay when my new phone no longer supported samsung pay. So far I am pretty happy with it.
It has a vast amount of features that allow you to leave your wallet, and or purse at home. Not only can you use it to pay with at stores but it also stores your membership cards, and you can send/receive money with it for free.
My biggest issue is that even though I could have just entered either my pin or unlocked my phone with my fingerprint during purchases it will sometimes decline my purchase and have me reverify by unlocking my phone. It doesn't do this all the time either so it's inconsistent.

Easy NFC payments. You can manage your gift cards within the app, all in a secure way and it's compatible with a variety of mobile phones.

I would recommend it to anyone. My experience is excellent. Anyone who wants to protect their bank card from money theft or hackingHowever, this service is not supported by many companies.
The best intermediary from Google that you use to pay your bank card and be protectedIt is distinguished by being safe and simple. Your bank card can be linked and paid through Google Pay, thus protecting your bank card from hacking, piracy and theft. You can buy from these shopsFor example, Google PlayThese are some of the stores that accept Google PayAmerican Eagle OutfittersBarneys New YorkBloomingdale'sBrookshire's Food & PharmacyCrate & BarrelFoot LockerGiant EagleMacy'sMcDonald'sNikeSchnucksStaplesToys R UsWalt Disney WorldWhole Foods MarketAnd this service, Google Pay, has appeared competitors such as Samsung Pay and Binance Pay
There are no downsidesThe only negative is that I have great support from many companies that many companies do not support this service.

I swear by Google pay, I can say I dropped my other NFC pay apps for Google Pay
Love the ability to be able to pay by just holding my mobile device near the pos terminal, or even purchasing something inner app from my device. It's secure and I have never had any issues whilst using it.
This is really by know fault of Google Pay, but it would be so much more convenient if store clerks knew when they accepted it or not. Sometimes it will say and sometimes it won't so its a hit or miss.

Positive, it is one of my favourite apps for payment and receiving payment.
It is fuss free and there are incentives to use google pay. I am an educator with my own business currently, and many parents prefer to pay using google pay. I also use google pay to pay for a variety of products and services.
It can be quite confusing and is not intuitive. You need to find your way around the app and so it may be difficult to use for those who arent tech savvy. Set up also required.

Google pay is easy to use and safe Unified Payments Interface (UPI) app which enables us to pay money directly from our Bank Account. Using Google pay we can pay our bills, transfer money to friends, pay to a Merchant for ordering food, vegetables, grocery, household appliances, etc. In addition, Google pay provides Rewards (based on the transactions) and a variety of offers.
It's not critical, however; sometimes (not very often) translations get stuck in processing for some time and then gets failed.
