Global Payments announces full support for Samsung Pay in the UK

Samsung Pay was launched in the UK a couple of weeks ago, and it is currently compatible with credit and debit cards from MBNA, Nationwide Building Society, and Santander. Global Payments, a leading worldwide provider of various Point of Sale terminal solutions, has now announced that it now fully supports Samsung Pay in the UK. All the merchants in the UK who use Global Payments’ PoS terminals will be able to accept payments using Samsung.

“Global Payments is delighted to bring innovative commerce to merchants in the UK by supporting Samsung Pay,” said Frank T. Young, SVP, Global Product and Innovation. “We once again demonstrate our continued commitment to leading payments technology across the globe by offering another form of mobile payment acceptance to merchants.” Samsung Pay supports both NFC and MST, but NFC is the preferred way for contact-less payment all over the UK.
