Streamlined Crypto Transactions through Samsung Pay in New Coinbase App Version
Samsung and Coinbase Team Up for Seamless Cryptocurrency Payments
Samsung has announced a new feature for its Wallet app that allows users to pay for items in installments, separate from the recently announced integration with Coinbase. The integration with Coinbase is set to roll out gradually, starting in August 2025, with select users in the U.S. and Canada [1][4].
The integration between Samsung Pay and Coinbase aims to make cryptocurrency payments more accessible for millions of mobile users across North America. Users will be able to purchase cryptocurrency directly from their Galaxy device using Samsung Pay, eliminating the need to re-enter payment information [1][2][3].
In addition to the integration with Coinbase, Samsung Pay has also rolled out the "Tap to transfer" feature for Galaxy devices, debuting with the Galaxy S25 series. This feature allows users to bump their phone against another user's phone to complete a money transfer, making it easy to send money to a friend from a distance, as long as their phone number is available [6].
The "Tap to transfer" feature works with a variety of third-party digital wallets, but it doesn't require one. Users will also find a "Pay in installments" option when paying through Samsung Wallet. Users can pick the payment plan that works for them from the "Pay in installments" option [7].
Coinbase plans to extend support for more users beyond the initial group in the near future, though no specific full launch date has been provided yet. Users should note that all payment information will carry over from purchase to purchase, as long as the Samsung Pay account remains connected [8].
With these new features, Samsung and Coinbase are set to provide a smoother path to cryptocurrency for millions of mobile users across North America, making it easier than ever to perform all your cryptocurrency needs quickly and conveniently via your phone.
