Samsung Electronics today announced that it is bringing Samsung Pay to Puerto Rico. Starting today, Samsung Pay will support eligible credit cards from Banco Popular, Puerto Rico’s largest bank, and will be available on AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and Claro networks in Puerto Rico.

Samsung Pay will be available on compatible Samsung smartphones including the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Active, Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S6 edge+, Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Active and Galaxy S7 edge, with specific availability varying by local operator in Puerto Rico, according to a company press release.

"We're excited to partner with Banco Popular to bring Samsung Pay to Puerto Rico," said Thomas Ko, vice president and global co-general manager of Samsung Pay. "With Samsung Pay, you can shop in Puerto Rico right from your phones at retail chains and independent businesses — the stores you already know and love. With the widest acceptance, Samsung Pay works almost anywhere you scan swipe or tap a card."

Today's announcement follows Samsung Pay's recent launch in three new countries across three continents. In June, Samsung Pay began operations in Spain, its first market in Europe; Singapore, its first within the southeast Asian region; and Australia, its first market within the Oceania region.
