Samsung elevates payment tech through Curve collaboration

Samsung Electronics has elevated its payments offering with the launch of the new Samsung Pay Card, powered by Curve, in conjunction with global payments technology company Mastercard. 

The card, which will be available from August 18, will utilise one simple-to-use digital-first card and gives users complete control over their spending, without having to change banks.

Shachar Bialick, CEO and Founder of Curve said: “The Samsung Pay Card, powered by Curve, changes the game for customers in the UK. By bringing Curve’s unique technology to Samsung devices it empowers millions of Samsung customers to take control of their money, access more choice, and enjoy a banking experience like never before, across all their accounts, without the need to switch banks or limit themselves to only one bank, all from the palm of their hand.

“Curve is already making big waves in the fintech industry and we are delighted to partner with such an innovative company and bring our powerful digital banking platform to millions of Samsung customers, improving their financial experience.”

It also seeks to boost efficiency by offering everything in one place and giving users deeper coverage, taking advantage of Curve’s technology that has exponentially grown in recent years. 

Conor Pierce, Corporate Vice-President of Samsung UK & Ireland, added: “Now, more than ever, people need a secure payment solution they can rely on. We’re excited to be able to put the control back into our customers’ hands, by launching Samsung Pay Card.

“At Samsung we believe in the power of innovation and, through our partnership with Curve, the Samsung Pay Card brings a series of pioneering features that will change the way that our customers manage their spending, with their Samsung smartphone and smartwatch at the heart of it. This is the future of banking and we look forward to continuing this journey with our customers.”
