Samsung Pay is a mobile payment and digital wallet service run by Samsung. It stores the bank cards you already hold on a compatible Galaxy phone, tablet or watch, and pays with them. It holds no balance of its own and is not a payment network; it’s a layer over your card, secured with Samsung Knox, tokenisation and a fingerprint, iris, face scan or PIN. It’s now part of the wider Samsung Wallet app.
Paying a crypto exchange this way means you authenticate on your own device and the exchange gets a token, not your real card number. You need a card in your own name added to the wallet. The payment runs on your card underneath, so it carries the same protections and the same limits as any card payment.
The list at the top of this page shows the exchanges that take it.
Samsung Pay is developed and operated by Samsung Electronics. It launched commercially in South Korea and the United States in August and September 2015, starting on the Galaxy S6, S6 edge, Note 5 and S6 edge+. At the US launch it supported Mastercard, Visa and American Express cards from a handful of participating banks.
Over the years that followed it spread to dozens of markets across Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East, and was eventually folded into the Samsung Wallet app, with Samsung Pay remaining the payment layer inside it. In 2025 Samsung took steps toward crypto funding, adding Samsung Pay as a deposit option inside a major exchange’s app for users in the United States and Canada.
Samsung Pay itself does not let you buy, sell or hold cryptocurrency inside the app. Samsung has built blockchain features into some Galaxy devices so people can store and manage crypto through a separate wallet app, but Samsung Pay as a payment service doesn’t process crypto transactions on its own.
Its role in crypto is as a funding method. It can be used inside third-party crypto apps as a payment and deposit option, passing the charge through to the debit or credit card you’ve linked. Samsung states no policy that prohibits using Samsung Pay to fund a crypto exchange, and its 2025 partnerships point the other way, toward encouraging that use.
The steps are much the same wherever Samsung Pay is accepted.
A Samsung Pay payment usually reaches your exchange account within minutes, because it runs on your card and card payments clear quickly. A first-time payment can take a little longer while the exchange runs its checks, and a fresh card added to the wallet needs activation by your bank first, which on average takes 5 to 10 minutes and may need a one-time password. Bank cut-off times and weekends can slow the settlement on the card underneath. The payment runs on your card network, so it can be reversed under that network’s rules rather than being final the way a crypto transfer is.
Samsung Pay charges no fee of its own for making a payment. What it costs comes from the card underneath and from the exchange. The exchange may add a card deposit fee, or build a wider margin into the price when you buy instantly, and your card issuer sets its own charges on top. If you use a credit card, your issuer may treat a crypto purchase as a cash advance, which carries its own fee and interest; a debit card avoids that. Check the amount, the fee and the final price the exchange shows you before you confirm.
A device wallet does not replace the card, it wraps it. When you add a card to the wallet, the network issues a device-specific token that stands in for the real number, and payments carry the token instead. The exchange still records a card deposit, its acquirer still pays card scheme fees, and your issuer still sees a crypto purchase on that card.
The deposit fee is the venue’s card fee. The limits are your card’s limits. If your issuer declines crypto purchases on that card, it declines this one.
If Samsung Pay is not available to you, the same card entered directly, or through Google Pay where supported, reaches the same place at the same cost.
Since the economics come from the card underneath, compare exchanges on more than the wallet. Look at the total cost shown before you confirm, how long account verification takes, and which coins you can buy. Check whether you can withdraw your money back out, since Samsung Pay only sends money and cannot receive a payout, so withdrawals go by another route. Weigh the exchange’s security record too. The list at the top of this page shows the ones that take Samsung Pay; use it as your starting point.
Yes. Use a card in your own name added to your own device. Exchanges match the payer to the verified account holder, and a card belonging to someone else will usually be rejected.
No. Samsung Pay only sends money; it can’t receive a payout. Your exchange will pay withdrawals out by another method, such as a bank transfer.
Nothing reaches your account and the charge usually drops off, though a pending hold can take a little while to clear. Common causes are your bank declining a crypto purchase or a card that isn’t properly activated in the wallet.
No. The same card is charged and the same fee applies. The wallet saves typing, not money.
The same card entered directly, or through Google Pay where your bank supports it. Both reach the same place at the same cost.
