Samsung usually partners with individual banks in every country to launch its mobile payments service. This meant that even if the service was available in your country, your ability to use it was contingent upon your bank working with Samsung.
Instead of chasing after German banks, Samsung teamed up with Visa and Solarisbank AG, a Berlin-based fintech company, to launch Samsung Pay in the country. This means that anybody in Germany can use Samsung Pay regardless of the bank they chose to keep their money in.
Once registered with Samsung Pay, users receive a virtual Visa debit card that can be linked to almost any German bank account. The actual process of making payments with Samsung Pay is just like it is in other markets. Just swipe over the lock or start screen of the device to access Samsung Pay and tap it to the payment terminal.
