The feature is powered by NPCI's Bharat Bill Payments Systems, and along with paying for existing bills, Bill Payments can be used to get notifications when a new one is due, search for new recurring payments that you'd like to add, and more.

Samsung Pay Finally Supports American Express In The UK

Samsung Pay finally supports American Express cards in the UK as the company has just announced yesterday that Samsung Pay users can now add Amex cards to the app and use them though the mobile payment solution anywhere Samsung Pay is accepted, which should be just about anywhere you can swipe a credit or debit card thanks to the MST technology that Samsung Pay is built off of. While just about any recent Galaxy device from the last couple of years can set up their American Express cards within the app, Samsung highlights that there are some additional benefits for those who have the Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, and Galaxy Note 8 – the ability to authorize those payments with the integrated Iris Scanner that each of those devices includes, in addition to the fingerprint sensor and PIN numbers.
