Samsung and PayPal today announced that Galaxy smartphone owners can now use PayPal as a funding source for Samsung Pay.
Samsung said all Samsung Pay users in the U.S. will have access to PayPal as a funding source, and it can be used to make purchases anywhere Samsung Pay is accepted. Samsung Pay uses both NFC and MST technology and works at most retail credit card terminals.
Beyond retail locations, Samsung says a partnership with Braintree means Samsung Pay users can take advantage of PayPal to fund in-app and online purchases as well.
PayPal support is being rolled out to the Samsung Pay service this week. Samsung Pay is available to Samsung’s high-end handsets, such as the Galaxy S6, S7, S8, and variants, and Galaxy Note 5.
