US Users Now Able to Instantly Transfer Funds via Samsung Wallet Feature: Tap to Transfer
Let's get straight to the point:
Samsung's brand new "Tap to Transfer" feature is here to revolutionize P2P payments in the U.S. By tapping your Samsung device with the recipient's device, you can make quick and hassle-free transactions without needing third-party apps like Venmo or Cash App.
This cutting-edge feature leverages NFC technology to connect with debit cards stored in various digital wallets, including your own Samsung Wallet, Google Wallet, and even Apple Wallet. But that's not all; you can also send money to folks with physical debit cards that support tap-to-pay.
Here's the Lowdown on Tap to Transfer:
- NFC Magic: The feature uses NFC technology to seamlessly connect your Samsung device with the recipient's debit card stored in their respective digital wallets.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: This feature lets you send money to recipients regardless of whether they use Google Wallet, Apple Wallet, or a physical debit card with tap-to-pay capabilities.
- Secure Money Movements: To start using Tap to Transfer, you'll need a Visa or Mastercard debit card linked to your Samsung Wallet.
How Tap to Transfer Plays Nice with Google Wallet and Apple Wallet:
- Close Encounters: You can tap your Samsung device with the recipient's device (if they're nearby) to transfer money without any hassle.
- Long-Distance Love: If the recipient isn't near, you can effortlessly transfer money by searching for their phone number within the Samsung Wallet app.
- Fees and Availability: At the moment, this feature is available in the U.S. and South Korea, with plans to expand to more countries soon. Currently, there are no fees for a limited time, but a 1.75% fee (minimum $0.25) applies to senders for each transaction, starting from July 24th1.
