Value-Added Services for Samsung Pay 

EZ-Link NFC SIM 

The new service on Samsung Pay provides users with EZ-Link NFC SIM convenient access to their ez-link transactions. Consumers can now use selected Samsung devices the same way an ez-link card is used for public transit and retail payments. EZ-Link NFC SIM customers can also enjoy the added benefit of using Samsung Pay for their ez-link transactions, such as checking their transaction history and value balance. This service is already available for Samsung Pay customers.

Barcode Loyalty 

A new addition to Samsung Pay to further enhance the shopping experience for users, Samsung’s barcode loyalty feature for Samsung Pay will launch on 18 November 2016. The new service is a loyalty feature that will work with almost any card that has a barcode. With the feature, users can simply add their loyalty cards from participating merchants in Samsung Pay for point collection and redemption, removing the need to carry multiple cards, slimming down their physical wallets, and ensuring that users never miss out on their loyalty points.
