Starling Bank has signed a partnership with Samsung to makes its mobile payments service Samsung Pay available to customers.

Customers of the digital-only bank with Samsung devices will now be able to use Samsung Pay as a secure way to pay anywhere that contactless payments are accepted. Users simply swipe up from the bottom of their smartphone screen, use their iris, fingerprint or PIN to authenticate their identity and tap their phone on the payment terminal.

Julian Sawyer, chief operating officer for Starling, said: “The addition of Samsung Pay to our range of digital wallets is a sign of Starling’s commitment to deliver great customer experience and fast, easy, secure ways to pay. Samsung Pay was requested by our customers and we have delivered on our promise to provide the service and to give users a new kind of banking – one they really want.”

Kyle Brown, head of technology, services and launch management at Samsung Electronics, added: “We’re delighted to be offering Starling Bank’s customers access to Samsung Pay, helping more people to transform the way they pay for day-to-day items with a service that’s very simple and incredibly secure.”
