Samsung Pay can now be used with Chase Bank credit and debit cards

Samsung Pay is already off to a great start. Not only has it been achieving some impressive numbers in the US and South Korea, it’s one of the easiest and most widely-accepted mobile payment services out there thanks to its use of both NFC and MST technologies. Since launch, Samsung has been promising its users that more credit and debit cards would get support for Samsung Pay over the coming months, and it looks like that’s proving true today. Samsung has just announced that eight new credit and debit card issuers have been added to Samsung Pay.

Chase Visa is the most notable among the list, joining American Express, Bank of America, Citi Bank, U.S. Bank and Synchrony Financial as viable options for folks who want to use Samsung’s new payment method. In addition, Samsung Pay now supports credit and debit cards from these Mastercard issuers: Citizens Equity First Credit Union, Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union, Security Service Federal Credit Union, State Employees’ Credit Union, SunTrust and Virginia Credit Union. Navy Federal Credit Union Visa credit and debit cards are now supported, too.

The company is also offering a pretty decent promotion for users who have yet to sign up for the payment service. From now until Monday, November 30th, you can get up to $100 off any purchase from samsung.com when you activate Samsung Pay and fill out an online form. Sounds pretty great, right?
