BBVA and Samsung have been collaborating for years in the development of mobile banking services. Now, BBVA customers will be able to access the bank's application through their ultrasonic fingerprint as many others admit. If you have any of the Galaxy S10, you should know that it is already possible to unlock your application with the fingerprint sensor. It should not be forgotten that BBVA was the first entity that allowed the app to be used through the iris recognition of the Note 8, Note 9 and Galaxy S9.
But this is not the most important news announced today, rather customers with Samsung Pay will now be able to use their BBVA cardson this platform. If you have a Galaxy with Samsung Pay, you can use any of the authorized BBVA cards to pay via mobile, quickly and safely.
BBVA is now compatible with Samsung Pay
Whether it's a mobile phone or a smartwatch, you can use Samsung Pay with all compatible BBVA cards. Samsung Pay can be used at any establishment with a POS that has contactless using NFC technology. Users just need to set up the app and tap their phone to pay. Take advantage of this promotion if you are a BBVA member because until May 4, for each payment, you will receive Samsung Rewards that you can later exchange for gifts.
Another BBVA novelty is that it now allows you to search for company ATMs through Bixby, Samsung's virtual assistant that uses Artificial Intelligence to process your questions. Bixby has been speaking Spanish for a few months now and this channel can be used to search for ATMs in the BBVA network. The firms have joined forces to try to create the best experience for their customers and add value to their products.
Also available on smartwatch
As we have already mentioned, Samsung Pay technology is also available to all customers who have a smartwatch Galaxy Watch Active or even a Galaxy Watch or Gear S3. They will be able to consult the total balance, the expenses and even the detail of the movements or information about the accounts. And yes, of course, you can pay just like on any smartphone from Galaxy smartwatches with NFC technology, as we can read in the press release.
