This article explains whether you can use your KAST card with Samsung Pay. As well as the available alternatives.
Can I Add My KAST Card To Samsung Pay?
Unfortunately, no. Samsung Pay does not currently support KAST cards. Our team is actively working with payment partners to bring Samsung Pay compatibility in the future.
What Alternatives Can I Use Instead?
While Samsung Pay is not supported, you can still use your KAST card through the following options:
- Google Pay: You can add your KAST card to Google Pay and make secure, contactless payments where supported. Here’s a guide on how to add your KAST card to your Google Wallet.
- Traditional Payment Methods: You can continue to use your physical KAST card at any merchant that accepts Visa.
Will Samsung Pay Be Supported In The Future?
Yes, we are actively working with our partners to resolve this limitation and expand mobile wallet support. While we can’t provide an exact timeline, Samsung Pay compatibility is a priority for our team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my KAST card with Google Pay or Apple Pay?
Yes. You can add your KAST card to Google Pay and Apple Pay (if available in your region) to make secure, contactless payments. Both options work for online and in-store transactions.
Can I Still Use My KAST Card If Samsung Pay Isn’t Supported?
Yes. Even though Samsung Pay does not currently support KAST cards, you can still use your physical KAST card to make purchases almost anywhere Visa is accepted. This includes both in-store and online transactions, so you won’t lose access to your funds or services.
Will I Earn KAST Points If I Use Google Pay Instead of Samsung Pay?
Yes. Using Google Pay, Apple Pay, or your physical KAST card all count the same when it comes to earning rewards. Every eligible transaction will continue to generate KAST Points, so you don’t miss out on benefits.
When will Samsung Pay be supported?
We don’t have an exact date yet, but our team is actively working with partners to enable Samsung Pay support. We will share updates in the KAST app and Help Center as soon as compatibility is available.
Why doesn’t Samsung Pay support KAST cards right now?
Samsung Pay has its own approval process and technical requirements for new cards. KAST is working through these steps to ensure smooth integration before support can be launched.
Are there extra fees for using Google Pay or Apple Pay with KAST?
No. There are no additional charges from KAST for using your card with Google Pay or Apple Pay. Standard transaction or network fees still apply, just like with your physical card.
Is Samsung Pay available in all countries?
No. Samsung Pay is not supported everywhere. Even once KAST cards are added, availability will depend on whether Samsung Pay is live in your country or region.
What should I do if I only have a Samsung device and want to use contactless payments?
Until Samsung Pay support is ready, you can use your KAST physical card for contactless payments almost anywhere Visa is accepted. You may also consider linking your KAST account to other supported wallets, if available in your region.
