Expressing his views on the subject Murat Azdemir, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Samsung Turkey Mobile Business Unit, “As Samsung, we are the first mobile phone brand in Turkey to implement its own payment solution. With S Wallet, our users will be able to make their payments quickly, easily and securely while enjoying the convenience of wallet-free shopping. Our users will be able to make payments not only without a wallet, but also with a smart watch without having their phones with them. With S Wallet, we offer many special advantages to Samsung users in Turkey and provide significant convenience to their lives. With S Wallet, users can take part in both the campaigns offered specifically for them by İşbank and Visa campaigns. We will also offer advantages to users when purchasing Samsung products with our special campaigns, brand collaborations, game campaigns and Galaxy Deals integration. The most important thing that differentiates S Wallet from other mobile wallet applications is its contactless payment privileges and the in-app marketplace ecosystem we have created with our business partners. In addition to paying by touching the smartphone, we are also offering payment methods such as paying with a smart watch to our users for the first time. Samsung users can thus perform all payment transactions via a single device. In addition, our users can make their payments safely for online shopping thanks to the renewed dynamic code. We aim to reach more than 1 million active users with S Wallet within 3 years. We are giving away a total of 1 Million TL to Samsung S Wallet users as a special launch special. “We are giving 50 TL as a gift to our users who spend 100 TL or more on S Wallet for the first time.” he said.

With wearable technologies such as smart watches, it becomes possible to easily make contactless payments, not only in Turkey but all over the world, without even having to take out your wallet, card or phone. This is also another example of our principle of keeping payments secure with Visa’s global scale and technological network protected by the most advanced security products and services. S Wallet, which we see as an important step supporting the digital development of the ecosystem, is the result of a set of solutions that emerged with the synergy of a multi-partner team. “I congratulate the Samsung, Moka, Maximum and Pazarama teams and my colleagues at Visa who contributed to the realization of the project.” said.
Speaking about S Wallet, Pazarama General Manager and Moka Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors Serkan Uğraş Kaygalak said: “Thanks to this special project we have implemented in cooperation with Samsung, Visa, Pazarama and Moka, we are not only taking a new step in making contactless payments with smart watches in our country, but also offering a local application that can make payments via NFC outside banks to Samsung users. In this way, we provide added value that increases inclusion in areas that banking cannot reach in the development of financial technologies. Representing two institutions of İş Bank Group, I must state that thanks to this application developed with Moka’s license and Pazarama’s technology, we are completing an important gap with the wallet infrastructure that can be used both in the physical world and in online shopping. We are proud to launch a local version of Samsung Pay, a global digital wallet, on our local servers, in full compliance with our country’s regulations. In this way, we are meeting a need that has been going on for a long time. Thanks to S Wallet, users will be able to shop online with their wallets from Pazarama, which is located directly within the application. While normally marketplaces offer the wallet as an additional service, here we brought a different perspective to the situation and made online shopping a function of the wallet with Pazarama, providing Samsung customers with a special, innovative and easy online shopping experience. “I would also like to point out that it is also important that the project is implemented by bringing together 4 major brands in their fields, and that we find this very valuable in terms of the development of our country’s financial technologies and ecosystem understanding.” said.
