Samsung Pay uses proprietary Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) and Near Field Communication (NFC) to make contactless mobile payments.
MST is a method of sending data using magnetic waves. MST replicates a card swipe by wirelessly transmitting magnetic waves from the supported Samsung device to a standard card reader; it turns every card reader into a contactless payment receiver.
NFC is a method of wirelessly transmitting data using radio waves. Samsung Pay uses NFC to wirelessly transmit payment data to payment terminals that have active NFC readers.
For the average user, there are no notable differences between using NFC and MST. MST technology is able to simulate a magnetic field which is similar to a conventional credit card signal. The terminal will think that you have held up a physical card, rather than put up a device. The radius of action is similar to that of NFC’s – up to 7 centimetres. Samsung Pay can use either MST or NFC to make secure contactless transactions. The key differentiator is that approximately 90% of merchants can accept MST, making Samsung Pay the most widely accepted payment service on the market.
The device must be within a distance of no more than 5cm.
In the context of Samsung Pay, MST and NFC have the same level of security. The payment information transmitted by both MST and NFC is protected by tokenization.
Fingerprint scan has a false acceptance ratio of 0.002%. Therefore, the fingerprint is highly secured meaning it is unlikely that a different person can log in to Samsung Pay with fingerprint security.
Samsung Pay uses tokenization, a Secure Environment and Samsung KNOX to secure your payment information. Additionally, you are required to verify all transactions with either your fingerprint or PIN.
Tokenization is a method of replacing your sensitive payment card information (card number, expiration date, security code, etc.) with a device-specific 'Token' which acts as a surrogate value. In mobile payments, Tokens are used to protect your payment information and to reduce the security risks inherent to plastic cards.
A Secure Environment is a physically segregated chip in the phone which only allows access to highly sensitive operations/information such as fingerprint and payment information. Normal applications and malware have no access to the information in a Secure Environment.

In cases where the merchant asks you for the last four digits of the card number, you will need to provide the last four digits of the digital card number; not the last four digits of the physical card number. For ease, it can be located on the left side of the card in the Simply Pay screen and also in the main app when viewing your registered cards.
The payment cards on Samsung Pay are digital versions of your physical cards. Therefore, if you lose your original payment card and receive a replacement, simply remove the original payment card from Samsung Pay and then register the replacement.
If your device is lost or stolen, you can use Samsung's Find My Mobile service to remotely disable or to remove all the Samsung Pay payment cards registered on your device. Please visit https://findmymobile.samsung.com for further information.
