Al Salam Bank has introduced Samsung Wallet to its clients, a new and secure payment method enabling users to engage in contactless payments using their Samsung devices on any POS or payment system.
The bank said, in a statement, that clients will be able to authenticate each transaction using facial or fingerprint recognition, a PIN code, or one-time password.
This service is approved at various supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants, cafés, retail shops, and more, both inside and outside of the kingdom. Customers can also avail themselves of services including food delivery, online shopping and car parking.
According to the statement, Al Salam’s latest addition to their lineup of digital services, Samsung Wallet, will enable clients to conduct safe and secure contactless payment transactions both locally and internationally. The launch is in line with the bank’s digital transformation strategy to keep up with the ongoing developments in the banking and finance sector.
Starting today, clients will be able to instantly add their debit, credit, and prepaid cards from Al Salam Bank to the Samsung Wallet application by following the necessary steps and completing their payments from anywhere around the world with just one click.
When making use of this service, each user will receive a unique PIN that is then encrypted and stored in an industry-compliant certified chip designed to safely store payment information on the device.
