The global coronavirus pandemic claimed many victims and, above all, forced the majority of the population to shut themselves in their homes and cut themselves off from the world "out there". In many ways this precaution had only negative consequences, but in the case of technology it was the exact opposite. People began to work and study from home en masse, which significantly accelerated communication and, in some places, work efficiency, and they also began to prefer online payments. And this even in markets where, until recently, the classical currency played a premium and most people relied on standard banknotes, such as South Africa.

It is precisely in South Africa that the service Samsung Pay, which enables efficient online payments, dominates and recently passed the milestone of 3 million unique transactions. Just for context, the service has been operating in the region for about two years, and during that time it has collected only 2 million transactions. She added the last million to her account in just the last few months, which is definitely a respectable result. After all, the platform offers an elegant and fast way to pay for bills, for example, or to split the bill with friends. A similar case occurred in a completely different country, namely Great Britain, where Samsung Pay is celebrating a similar success and it even turned out that up to 50% of British people are willing to pay exclusively online.

That's nice but I really don't understand why we still don't have samsung pay in 2020..
True, I would like a watch mainly because of the payment and so far it only looks like Garmin or Apple, however, neither brand suits me in other aspects :/
When will the Samsung pay service be available in the Czech Republic?? Thank you
This article is an outright mockery of Samsung Corporation.
Samsung has been implementing it here for almost 2 years and the result? 0, nothing works.
3 million transactions in 2 years, right? If it worked in the Czech Republic, they have 3 million transactions in a quarter of a year.
Well, the main thing is that they are doing well in Africa. That's what we all needed to know here. How about the Czech Republic? But we would probably like that a lot, wouldn't we?
