Samsung Pay: Supported banks in the United Kingdom

TL;DR

Samsung Pay support in the UK depends on whether individual banks and card providers have enabled their cards for the service.

The article lists supported UK providers, including American Express, HSBC, Nationwide, Santander, Starling Bank and several others.

Some UK banks may work only on NFC terminals and not via MST technology.

Samsung Pay is the most widely accepted mobile payment service, but it is ultimately up to the banks and card providers in a particular country to enable official support for their credit and debit cards so that they can work with Samsung Pay. This page lists the major banks and payment service providers that are on-board with Samsung Pay in the United Kingdom.

Note that in the UK, Samsung Pay may only work with NFC-enabled terminals with some banks and not via MST technology. To find out what MST and NFC mean, check out our dedicated Samsung Pay page, which also includes other information, such as supported devices and setup and usage instructions.
