Samsung Electronics has announced that its unified Samsung Wallet mobile wallet app will now be available in eight more countries.
The South Korean-based tech giant has revealed that it will roll out the wallet app across Singapore, Australia, Brazil, Hong Kong, Canada, India, Malaysia and Taiwan. Samsung Wallet support will be live in these countries by the end of January.
However, the company indicated in a press release that the exact launch timing will vary and depend on user devices and the specific market.
Samsung’s mobile payment platform is growing
Samsung launched the Wallet app in 2022, with support since its unveiling in June having increased from seven initial countries to 21 by the date of the last announcement.
Currently, the Samsung Wallet app is available for Samsung Galaxy users in Korea, the United Kingdom, the United States, Bahrain, China, Denmark, Spain, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Norway, Oman, Qatar, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Vietnam, and the United Arab Emirates.
More than just a payments platform, the app also integrates with Samsung Blockchain Wallet and comes with enhanced security features by Samsung Knox, an inbuilt proprietary security platform.
So while the Samsung Wallet app isn’t crypto-specific, users with supported devices can take advantage of it to do things like keep tabs on their digital asset wallet. The wallet allows this via an interface that gives access to cryptocurrency prices across multiple exchanges.
