Samsung Wallet is a secure and unified digital wallet available on Samsung smartphones and smartwatches. It combines the functionality of the Samsung Pass app and the Samsung Pay app, which existed previously, under one roof. In some ways, the app is similar to Google Wallet and Apple Wallet.
Once set up, the wallet allows you to securely store all your essentials, such as DigiLocker IDs, FASTag recharges, vaccination certificates, and more, in one place. In addition, you can also add your preferred payment methods, like credit card, debit card, or UPI ID, to the wallet and use them, based on your preference, to make online payments right from your Galaxy smartphone or smartwatch.
When it comes to protecting the wallet and its items secure, Samsung uses its security platform, Samsung Knox. This brings encryption and fingerprint authentication, so only you can access your wallet and see what’s inside it. Besides, Samsung says it stores sensitive documents in your wallet in an isolated environment to add an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access.
