FAQ: No need to wait to use Samsung Pay™

Reports are claiming that Samsung's newest phone is 'almost finished'; with some outlets reporting that the first folding phone from the company was shown at CES in Las Vegas - in a secret fashion, of course.

BBVA Compass, as an agent of change, is committed to driving innovation in the digital realm and has had its own experiences launching updated versions of its products. While thorough testing and design are critical to a successful launch of any product, there's no reason to wait for the newest Samsung phone to capitalize on another game-changing service - one that overlaps BBVA Compass' and the electronics company's vision in digital transformation.

Samsung Pay™ is yet another channel through which BBVA Compass can offer convenience for its clients. Whether its fingerprint or PIN code, you can use the service to pay at any merchant where you can swipe or tap your card.
