Samsung sees biometrics as an important part of Samsung Pay, when it comes to strengthen the security in payments. The major consumer use case for mobile biometrics is payments.

With mobile wallets, the name of the game is most often convenience, with security regularly going unmentioned in any announcements about the services.

She said they are currently using fingerprint authentication and they are developing biometric sensors so that Samsung phones and Samsung Pay can be more secure.
