The Samsung Wallet is a digital wallet that is also known as a digital certificate platform - Samsung Pay in the country. Samsung Electronics is now making this service available to 13 countries by the end of this year, and this was confirmed on Friday, Oct. 14.

With this wallet, all Galaxy users can easily sort out their digital keys, boarding passes, payment cards, and even identification cards such as student ID and driver's licenses. All of these are categorized in just one single mobile app, which makes it really convenient for users.
Samsung Wallet is already available in South Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and China. These nations were part of the first batch to avail of the digital wallet when it was first introduced in June 2022.
