• Install Samsung Pay application (you may need to install software update)

Is Samsung Pay safe and secure for making payments? How does Extraco Banks help protect me against fraud?
Answer

The safety and security of your account information are of the highest importance. As a security measure, you may receive a “verification required” message when adding your card to Samsung Pay. Once verified, an on-screen message will appear stating that the card is ready for use. This verification is part of our multi-layered approach to security in payments.

Additionally, when we review mobile wallet providers we look for payment safety, quality of service, and ease of use for our customers. When you make payments with Samsung Pay and your Extraco Banks card:

• Your full card number is not shown to the merchant or to Samsung Pay
• All transactions are monitored by Extraco Fraud Alerts and fraud detection systems
• Purchases made using Samsung Pay are protected by Zero Liability, so you won’t be held responsible for promptly reported unauthorized transactions.

How secure is a Samsung Pay® transaction?
Answer

Your Extraco Banks Discover Debit Card in Samsung Pay is protected by “Touch ID”, "Face ID" and/or your device “Passcode.” For your security, when you make a purchase using Samsung Pay, you must either use “Touch ID”, "Face ID" or the “Passcode” for your device. All of your payment information will be encrypted in the Secure Element, a dedicated chip in your device.

Is my debit card number or other information being shared with Samsung?
Answer

To deliver you the best Samsung Pay experience, we will display certain account information on your device, such as data for your recent purchases, for each Card you have selected to use with Samsung Pay, but not your full account information. At any time, you can turn off the display of transaction data manually within Samsung Pay by adjusting the “Card Notifications” for each Card. We will never share your plastic Card number with Samsung. If you have any additional questions about your device’s security features, please contact Samsung directly.
