Blackhawk Network this week announced its partnership with Samsung Pay, which will enable the integration of gift cards into the Samsung Pay mobile wallet.

"We are thrilled to complement Samsung Pay's groundbreaking mobile payment technology with the upcoming integration of gift cards into the application," Talbott Roche, president of Blackhawk Network, said in a statement. "Consumers often have several gift cards at any given time, and the ability to integrate them into a single mobile payment solution, coupled with Samsung Pay's unique MST technology allowing for convenient redemption, is expected to provide a value add to Samsung Pay users."

"Blackhawk Network is a valued partner in our ongoing launch of Samsung Pay — the world's most accepted mobile payment system," said Thomas Ko, global co-general manager of Samsung Pay. "Just in time for the holidays, customers will be able to use gift cards with Samsung Pay almost anywhere you can swipe or tap your card."
