The platform is also going to let you make UPI payment via biometric feature which makes it PIN-free and more secure for smartphone users. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Samsung Wallet has been around for a while but the UPI-based upgrades are being rolled out so that Samsung smartphones can do all the UPI onboarding steps from their device itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Samsung Wallet Gets More UPI Support<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Samsung is bringing a one-stop UPI payment solution for its smartphones in the country. You can set up a new UPI account through the device on the Samsung Wallet app, and make payments without PIN and just use the fingerprint sensor to authorise the payment. Samsung says it is the first brand to have this level of UPI integration in the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The app will also let you pay using credit and debit cards that you save on the Wallet app and use them to pay at stores and outlets.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The company has even added Tap and Pay option with Forex cards so that you can go abroad and easily use the merchant support for easy payments. We hope these payment options within the Wallet app are not limited to the premium Galaxy phones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Speaking of UPI payments, Zoho is now eyeing the payment space with its own app called Zoho Pay in the country. The UPI-based payment app is currently being tested internally and reports suggest Zoho could launch its new product in the next few weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/after-arattai-zoho-pay-coming-to-rival-paytm-and-google-pay-in-india-ws-l-9661165.html\">Zoho Pay is not likely to complicate the setup<\/a>, but its integration with Arattai messaging app seems inevitable, especially with the company chief highlighting this aspect in their recent interviews.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Zoho Pay will work within the Arattai app just like how UPI works through WhatsApp for users in India. You will be able to send\/receive money, pay your bills, recharge your mobile number, and do all this without heading out of the app. The whole logic of a super app seems relevant with Zoho Pay and the company is looking to bring all its products under one umbrella. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"S Aadeetya\" title=\"S Aadeetya\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-3499802834 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Delhi, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-3499802834 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>October 31, 2025, 13:38 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-3499802834 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/\">tech<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Samsung Wallet In India Gets UPI Payment That Works With Face ID Security Feature<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
