Backed by IDEMIA, WiZink cards can be digitalized and used with Samsung
Pay for all users, while also benefiting from all innovative Samsung
features and options that Samsung Pay users can access. With the novel

and vouchers to the same wallet under the same app. WiZink is in a

he bank in its digital operations. WiZink has adapted its facilities to
the requirements of Samsung Pay processes, while also paying attention
to the bank's ongoing needs.

activities at IDEMIA, declared: "We are thrilled to continue working
with WiZink so as to help them give customers a novel fully-digital
user experience. Backed by our in-depth, tried and tested expertise
in coming up with digital payment services, we can offer Samsung Pay a

becoming ever-more widespread in Spain, we pledge to give clients
optimum ways to arrive at novel, scalable and user-friendly solutions
while maintaining strict security."
