Samsung to debut mobile payment system with the Galaxy S 6

With Apple making a lot of buzz about their own payment system, Apple Pay, Samsung is looking to grab a little of the spotlight too. What a surprise!! Back in December is when we first got wind of this notion that they were negotiating with LoopPay.

Samsung will indeed implement LoopPay technology, and what is most interesting about it is that NFC isn’t required. It actually mimics a card swipe so the potential of massive merchant support is greater. Of course Samsung will offer a fingerprint scanner, but this year’s rendition will require users to simply touch the device rather than swipe their finger.

I still haven’t gotten too much into mobile payments except for paying for my coffees at Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. I find it simpler to use my Android Wear smartwatch while going through the drive-thru, but when I am in a store, it’s just as easy to pull out my credit card. How do you guys feel about it?
