Monday 17 August 2015 10:15 CET | News

Private label credit card provider Synchrony Financial has unveiled that its cards will be compatible with the Samsung Pay mobile wallet, which is expected to launch in the US in September.

Synchrony will conserve the value element of private label credit cards in this secure mobile wallet setting. Synchrony has ensured that its complete portfolio of payment solutions and CareCredit cards, including 12 million average active accounts accepted at almost 300,000 locations, can be provisioned for the Samsung Pay.

The Samsung Pay app will be locked by fingerprint or PIN. It will capitalize on both magnetic secure transmission and near field communication technologies and will work with most existing payment terminals. For additional security, all Synchrony Bank private label credit card accounts in Samsung Pay will only work in the merchants store, as they will be device-specific and domain-restricted tokens.
