Samsung Pay One UI 5.0 support

Samsung Pay is an incredible payment service on Galaxy devices, but, it’s reportedly facing a service error across South Korea. As soon as the service error emerged, Samsung Pay users posted complaints one after another on different social platforms.

Seeing the emerging number of complaints online, Samsung Pay Team announced in a notice that, “Intermittent delays in biometric authentication are occurring when trying to pay with Samsung Pay. We will do our best to take action as soon as possible.”

“A software error occurred during an app update process,” Samsung Electronics said.

As per the info, Samsung Customer Center executives said that an auto-drag function did not work due to a Samsung Pay error alongside affected card authentication, PIN, and biometrics. Recently, the company spotted issues appearing when updating the Pay app after the integration of Naver Pay features.

“A failure to connect to the server. Please try the service again later,” an error message said.

Analysts say that this error could undermine the credibility of Samsung Pay, which is trying to solidify its dominance amid fiercer simple payment competition after Apple Pay recently entered the Korean market.

“I use Samsung Pay instead of cash or a plastic credit card, but I am very embarrassed that I have not been able to make payments with Samsung Pay since this morning,” a Samsung Galaxy user surnamed Jeong (48) said.

Another user surnamed Kim (38), complained, saying “I tried Samsung Pay as usual, but I couldn’t pay my public transportation fare, so I had some trouble on my way to work.”

Samsung Pay accounts for about 24 percent of the Korean simple payment market and supports both the near field communication (NFC) method including the EMV contactless method and the magnetic secure transmission (MST) method.
