Verizon’s Jeffrey Nelson, vice president for the carrier’s Communications for Enterprise Solutions, indicates in a tweet posted yesterday that Samsung will be ready to rollout a Samsung Pay solution in time for Verizon’s March 11th launch of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. People who got their hands on early units noted Samsung Pay was missing from Verizon units and they had to resort to sideloading the APK if they wanted to use the mobile payment solution.
Although Nelson did not reveal more details about how Verizon or Samsung will be making the app available, rumors are that Samsung Pay will be made available through either the Google Play Store or the Galaxy Apps platform. Being able to load the app through an app store instead of sideloading should help with getting it in the hands of consumers, although Verizon may not be too happy to see a competitor to its own investment in systems like SoftCard hitting a new flagship device. On the other hand, if this move helps sell the devices in Verizon stores and brings new customers on board, they may not complain quite as loudly.
