FAQs

How secure is Samsung Pay?

Samsung Pay uses advanced tokenization and authentication techniques to protect your payment information. It also offers biometric security features, allowing users to authenticate via fingerprint or a secure PIN. Samsung’s KNOX service continuously monitors for suspicious activity to protect the device from potential security threats.

What happens if my device is reset?

If you perform a factory reset on your device, all payment information stored in Samsung Pay will be erased. You’ll need to re-add your payment card details once the reset is complete.

What should I do if I switch phones?

If you switch to a new phone, you will need to register your OAB cards again, as no data is transferred or stored in Samsung Pay from your old device.

Do I need an internet connection to use Samsung Pay?

An internet connection is required to register and activate cards in Samsung Pay. However, making in-store purchases does not require an active connection. For optimal performance, it’s best to keep your device connected to the internet.

What should I do if I have trouble adding a payment card?

If you encounter issues while adding an OAB card to Samsung Pay, ensure you have a stable internet connection. If the problem persists, contact “FIL-KHIDMA” Call center at +968 2475 4444 to verify if your OAB card is eligible.

Can I use my physical card if I disable Samsung Pay?

Yes, disabling Samsung Pay or removing an OAB card from the app only suspends the digital token linked to your device. Your physical card will still function normally. To deactivate the physical OAB card, contact “FIL-KHIDMA” Call center at +968 2475 4444.

What should I do if I lose my physical OAB card and receive a replacement?

Since Samsung Pay uses digital versions of your physical cards, you may need to remove the lost card from Samsung Pay and register the replacement card once received.

How do I manage Samsung Pay if my device is lost or stolen?

In the event that your device is lost or stolen, your payment information cannot be accessed without your fingerprint or Samsung Pay PIN. For extra security, you can use the “Find My Mobile” feature to remotely lock or erase your payment cards from Samsung Pay.

What happens if Samsung Pay doesn’t recognize my fingerprint?

If your fingerprint isn’t recognized, you can unlock Samsung Pay using the PIN you set up during the initial setup process.
