Samsung Pay

Samsung Pay is a contactless payment method that allows you to add your eligible NAB Visa cards to a Samsung device. You can then make contactless payments right from your phone or watch without using your physical card, even when traveling internationally.

When you use Samsung Pay, you’ll still receive the same benefits and rewards offered by your eligible NAB Visa card.

Samsung Pay includes many security features, including an industry-standard encryption platform. Your card information is never revealed or shared with merchants or with Samsung. Samsung Pay also requires you to use a personal four-digit device code or biometric identifier (like a fingerprint) for an added layer of protection.
