Think I'm ready to join the civilised tech folk, much difference between Google Pay and Samsung Pay apart from needing a Samsung phone for the latter?
Not really used either previously but tried to add my card to Samsung Pay and it is invalid for some reason! Unsure if it's a problem with the app or the bank at this point but will probably check android pay to see if that allows it..
Check out their FAQ, and see if your bank is on the list of the providers. I had the same problem and found out my bank isn't supported.
Main thing for me about Samsung Pay is the ability to pay with my smart watch, which I really wish I could do. There's also something about being able to use it even where contactless isn't supported, but how many places is that nowadays?
