Set Up Samsung Pay Without Bank Card in North America

Want to use Samsung Pay on your Galaxy device without a traditional bank card in North America? You can still make secure, contactless payments using supported digital options and membership cards. Follow these steps to set it up quickly.

Step 1: Open Samsung Wallet

Swipe up from your home screen or open the Samsung Wallet app. Sign in with your Samsung Account if prompted.

To pay, swipe up to open Samsung Wallet, select your digital or membership card, authenticate, and hold your phone near the terminal until a checkmark appears or a beep is heard.

Step 5: Manage Cards and Transactions

Open Samsung Wallet > Menu > Transactions to view recent payments, delete, reorder, or temporarily lock cards as needed.
