Earlier this year, alongside the unveiling of the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung introduced a preview of its new “Tap to Transfer” feature within the updated Samsung Wallet. This functionality is now set to launch in the U.S. market, allowing users to transfer funds between Samsung devices equipped with NFC, simply by tapping them together.
Developed in collaboration with Visa and Mastercard, this transfer capability is facilitated through the Samsung Wallet platform, leveraging NFC connectivity to initiate and complete peer-to-peer transactions. In addition to smartphone-based transfers, the feature also supports transactions involving physical payment cards that offer NFC functionality.
Moreover, users can initiate online transfers by searching for a recipient’s phone number within the Samsung Wallet app. The system links the number to the corresponding Samsung account, enabling swift money transfers that are typically completed within minutes.
As for Samsung’s previously announced in-house installment payment service, it has now entered pilot testing in the U.S., offering users the opportunity to experience “Buy Now, Pay Later” options directly through Samsung’s ecosystem.
Apple, meanwhile, has launched a similar feature called “Tap to Cash,” enabling users to make NFC-based payments via select iPhone models. However, this service is tied exclusively to Apple Cash and is currently available only within the United States.
