To change the default to eftpos, swipe up to open Samsung Pay, select your eligible debit card and select eftpos.

Note: If you previously added your eligible debit card to Samsung Pay and the eftpos option is not presented, you will need to delete and re-add your card on the Samsung Pay app. When re-adding, tap ‘Add Card’ and follow the prompts. Once completed, you will be able to select VISA or eftpos.

Security

Is Samsung Pay Secure?

Samsung has partnered with Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation to safeguard your personal, transactional, and payment information. Samsung Pay uses tokenisation and authentication methods to secure all cardholder information. In addition to the security measures implemented by Samsung Pay, Samsung’s KNOX service constantly monitors suspicious activity within the device to protect from malicious attacks.

What is Samsung’s KNOX service?

KNOX is a platform that was designed in multiple layers across hardware and software so that your device can constantly ensure data is secure. If you’d like more information on this platform, head to samsungknox.com. 

What is tokenization with Samsung Pay?

Tokenisation is an extra layer of security, developed by Visa, Mastercard and American Express.

It creates a unique set of numbers for each new transaction, so your real card number is never used from Samsung Pay. Your card number cannot be copied or skimmed at the time of your transaction.

Tokens are used to protect your card details and payment information which reduces the security risks that comes with plastic cards. 

Digital Wallet help

What if my physical Visa card is lost or stolen?

If your Visa card is lost or stolen you’ll need to report this to Heritage Finance Holdings as soon as possible so that we can cancel your Visa card.
