MobiKwik ties-up with Samsung Pay for one-tap payments on select devices

Mobile wallet major, MobiKwik has joined hands with Samsung Pay, under which consumers will be able to make payments with a single tap using select Samsung handsets.

As part of the tie-up, MobiKwik wallet is now integrated with Samsung Pay Mini to enable one-tap payments at more than 1.4 million MobiKwik-powered merchants across the country, MobiKwik said.

MobiKwik's mobile wallet will also be available soon to Samsung Pay users, it added.

Daman Soni, Head of Growth, Mobikwik, said, "The future of digital payments in India will thrive only by collaborating with various ecosystem partners to drive acceptance. More than 55 million users and 1.4 million merchants will benefit from this association."

There has been a massive growth in number of transactions using digital platforms in the country, especially after the government's move to scrap high-denomination notes in November.

Samsung Pay allows users to just tap and pay using the debit/credit cards and wallets stored on their mobile devices. Currently, it is available for users of devices like Samsung S8, Samsung S7 Edge, S7, J7 Max and J7 Pro among others.

Samsung had unveiled a Mini version of the platform that integrates UPI and mobile wallets to work on mid-range priced smartphones. It, however, does not support tap-and-pay using credit and debit cards like the main app.

Sanjay Razdan, Director (Samsung Pay Business), Samsung India, said, "Moving into the next phase of new and innovative services for Samsung Pay, we are delighted to have MobiKwik on board as a partner."
