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.
