How can I add a credit/debit card to Samsung Wallet?

Last Update date : Jan 31. 2023

If you want to enjoy all the advantages of Samsung Wallet, it is vital that you add your credit and/or debit cards to the application, so that you can make all your payments from your mobile in a convenient, fast and secure way. 

View of the Add card menu in Samsung Pay.

If you want to add a card to Samsung Wallet, follow these steps:

1 Run your app and activate your camera. The app will ask you to aim it at the front side of your credit or debit card. The app will detect the card number and expiration date and you will have to enter the CVV code (3-digit or 4-digit depending on the card type) and your name as it appears on the card. You can also manually enter all card details, including card number and expiration date, by tapping the “Enter card manually” option at the bottom when the app asks you to aim the camera at your card.

Please note: The details required may vary based on your country and card provider, so simply follow the instructions inside the Samsung Wallet app to add your card info.

2 Tap the “Next” button and wait for the app to validate your card. Once this is done, agree to the terms and conditions of your bank if they show up.
3 You will be asked to verify your card. You can choose from any of the verification methods shown on-screen (these can depend on your bank and/or card provider) and follow the instructions in the app to complete verification. You may also need to sign the card. Do that by drawing inside the box provided on the screen.
4 You can add more cards by tapping the plus icon (+) on the main screen of Samsung Wallet.

Please note: The payment card displayed in Samsung Pay may not match your physical card. In this case, Samsung Pay will use a graphic representation of your card. You can determine your card is accurate by verifying the card network (Visa, MasterCard, or American Express), the card issuer (e.g., Bank of America, Citibank, or U.S. Bank), and the last four digits of your card. Also, you can continue to use your physical payment cards even though you removed them in Samsung Pay. If you want to cancel your card, please contact the card issuer.
