Samsung launched its first US co-branded credit card with Barclays, running on Visa's network and integrated into Samsung Wallet, offering 5% cash back on Samsung purchases. The move signals Samsung's intent to deepen financial services offerings beyond cards and directly compete with Apple Pay's dominance in US digital payments.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Samsung just became a financial services company. If you're building payment infrastructure, wallet integrations, or fintech rails for device makers, you now have a proven partner willing to go beyond cards—call them.
