Мобильный сервис Samsung Pay будет расширять своё присутствие на рынке в 2020-м году

В течение 2019 года наиболее совершенная система мобильных платежей от Samsung расширила своё присутствие только за счёт Индонезии. Как объяснили в корпорации, основное внимание в этом году было сосредоточено на укреплении позиций Samsung Pay в тех странах, где она уже имеется. Согласно последним данным, их число составляет 28. Это такие страны как США, Китай, Южная Корея, Австралия, Россия, Бразилия, Индия, Канада, Сингапур, Франция, Великобритания, Италия, Швейцария, Испания и ряд других.  
Среди вероятных кандидатов на запуск Samsung Pay в ближайшие 12 месяцев считаются Германия и Польша.
Напомним, что Samsung Pay обладает целым рядом преимуществ по сравнению с конкурирующими платёжными системами типа Apple Pay и Google Pay. Многие смартфоны и некоторые смарт-часы Samsung способны работать практически с любыми платёжными терминалами, включая старые аппараты для карт с магнитной полосой. Это стало возможным благодаря применению комбинированного модуля MST/NFC, который способен имитировать работу платёжной карты старого образца. Таким образом, владельцы этих устройств могут воспользоваться бесконтактным методом оплаты даже в самых отдалённых от современной цивилизации районах (разумеется в тех странах, где имеется поддержка Samsung Pay).
Кроме того, с момента запуска Samsung Pay в 2015-м году, южнокорейский техногигант значительно расширил количество предоставляемых услуг своим клиентам, например, валютные переводы в 47 стран мира (наличие таких опций варьируется в зависимости от страны).
На европейском континенте Samsung Pay, пожалуй, активнее всего развивался в России, где этот сервис поддерживают многие банки и государственные организации. Обладатели мобильных кошельков от Samsung имеют доступ к различным бонусным программам, что позволяет сэкономить значительные денежные средства. 

Samsung Pay mobile service will expand its market presence in 2020

In 2019, the most advanced mobile payment system from Samsung expanded the geography of its presence only at the expense of Indonesia. As the corporation explained, this year the main focus was on strengthening Samsung Pay's position in those countries where it already exists. According to the latest data, their number is 28. These are countries such as the USA, China, South Korea, Australia, Russia, Brazil, India, Canada, Singapore, France, Great Britain, Italy, Switzerland, Spain and several others.
Among the likely candidates for the launch of Samsung Pay in the next 12 months, Germany and Poland are considered.
Recall that Samsung Pay has a number of advantages compared to competing payment systems such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. Many Samsung's smartphones and some smartwatches are capable of working with almost any payment terminal, including old magnetic stripe card devices. This was made possible thanks to the use of the combined MST / NFC module, which is able to simulate the operation of an old payment card. Thus, the owners of these devices can use the contactless payment method, even in the most remote areas from modern civilization (of course, in countries where there is support for Samsung Pay).
In addition, since the launch of Samsung Pay in 2015, the South Korean techgiant has significantly expanded the number of services provided to its customers, for example, currency transfers to 47 countries of the world (availability of such options varies by country).
On the European continent, Samsung Pay has perhaps most actively developed in Russia, where many banks and government organizations support this service. Owners of mobile wallets from Samsung have access to various bonus programs, which saves significant money.
