Samsung has brought on several new partners to beef up its mobile wallet, with a focus on transportation, coupons and hospitality. The list includes American Express, United Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Malaysia Airlines, Amtrak, Valpak, eGifter, Gyft, Yowza, SpotOn, Agoda, HRS, Opodo and Thrillcall, Samsung said in a news release.

Samsung Wallet lets users store and organize coupons, tickets and memberships under different categories while also letting them manually create digital versions of existing membership cards, the company said; the app can be further personalized through location- and time-based notifications.

Samsung Offers lets users discover and clip digital coupons directly to their loyalty cards from participating grocery retailers, the company said.

Samsung said the new partnerships will add functions and offers for its wallet users. For example, American Express card members now get real-time access to account balances and their latest transactions, and United Airlines customers can load boarding passes.

"We are focusing our efforts on enhancing Samsung Wallet through strategic partnerships and providing users access to useful content," Won-Pyo Hong, president of the Samsung Electronics Media Solution Center, said in the release. "With mobile ticketing and coupon redemption rapidly on the rise, this service will help consumers keep it all organized and take advantage of relevant money-saving offers while on the go."

Samsung Wallet is available for download via Samsung Apps or Google Play for the Galaxy SIII, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note, Galaxy NoteII and Galaxy Note 3.
