Samsung Pay is the most used mobile payment app in South Korea

A local app ranker in South Korea says that Samsung Pay was the most used mobile payment app which supports online and offline usage. Samsung's mobile payment service has more than 2.59 million users in the company's native market, it has also been expanded to the United States, China and will soon go live in Singapore as well.

The ranking comes courtesy of WiseApp, a local app ranker that surveyed Android smartphone owners for the month of March, the survey didn't include iOS devices due to their low usage in the country. Samsung Pay is the most used mobile payment app in South Korea followed by Shinhan's app card with 1.5 million users and Hyundai Card with 1.23 million users. Samsung Pay's lead is only going to grow as the service is updated with new features in the future. The company is already working on expanding the service to multiple markets in 2016.
