Navy Federal Adds Samsung Pay To Its Mobile Payment Options
VIENNA, Va., Oct. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Navy Federal Credit Union announced adding Samsung Pay as a mobile payment option for its nearly six million members worldwide.
"We have a huge member population that uses credit and debit cards.

Samsung Pay works on Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ devices. A simple and safe mobile payment service, Samsung Pay works almost anywhere you can swipe or tap your card.
- SIMPLE: To make a payment on Samsung Pay, users can simply swipe up, scan their fingerprint and pay.
- SAFE: Samsung Pay uses tokenization, Samsung KNOX, and fingerprint authentication to provide secure payments. And, as terminals are upgraded to EMV, that security is leveraged too.
- ALMOST ANYWHERE: Samsung Pay is compatible with most existing and new terminals, including most magnetic stripe, EMV and NFC terminals*. That means Samsung Pay works at more places than any other mobile payment service.
"We partnered with Samsung with our members in mind. Our members want the latest mobile technology and we are proud to deliver. Samsung Pay adds to the breadth of mobile payment options we provide for our members across the globe," Day said.
