Samsung unveils debit card

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 28 - Samsung challenges the Apple Card and unveils a smartphone payment management system called Samsung Money. It relies on Samsung Pay and uses a debit card from the Mastercard circuit, called "Samsung Money bySoFi". The card will be available to owners of Galaxy smartphones in the US during the summer.
    Unlike the Apple Card, Samsung's is not a credit card but a debit card. "The account is safe, without costs and rewards users for savings, gaining a greater interest than the national average of transactional accounts," reads a note from the Korean company. Like the AppleCard, the Samsung card did not superimpose the number, expiration date and CVV, information accessible through the app. Google may soon join the game. According to rumors leaked last month, in fact, the Californian giant is developing its own debit card, both physical and virtual. It would rely on the Google Pay 'mobile' payment system, and would be usable for paying both new shops, both online and via smartphone. (ANSA).
