What is Simple Pay?

Fingerprints are required to verify transactions.
What differentiates Samsung Pay® from Apple Pay® or Android Pay™?
Both Apple Pay® and Android Pay™ rely on Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to make contactless payments. These services are limited to merchants with NFC-enabled payment terminals. Merchants are required to upgrade to a new payment terminal with NFC capabilities in order to accept Apple Pay® or Android Pay™.
Samsung Pay®, on the other hand, uses both NFC and Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) technology, making it work with nearly all current payment terminals. Some payment terminals may require software updates.
