How to Disable Samsung Pay

If you set up Samsung Pay intending to use it but realized you're more accustomed to using physical credit and debit cards, you can turn it off or uninstall it. Here's how to disable Samsung Pay.

How to Remove Credit or Debit Cards From Samsung Pay

One way to disable Samsung Pay is to remove any credit or debit cards connected to your account. Samsung Pay will still be available, but with no cards connected to the account, you won't be able to use it. You can always reconnect your cards to Samsung Pay if you change your mind.

Open the Samsung Pay app.
Tap the three-stripe menu icon on the left side of the screen.

In some versions of Samsung Pay, tap the Cards icon on the main screen after you launch the app.
Tap Cards.
Choose the cards you wish to delete.
Select the three-dot menu icon on the right side of the screen.
Select Delete card.
Select Delete when the confirmation popup appears.

Deleting a card also removes all the transaction information from Samsung Pay.
Repeat the necessary steps until you've deleted all your debit and credit cards.

How to Uninstall Samsung Pay

This option is ideal if you have no intention of using Samsung Pay in the future. Uninstalling the Samsung Pay app also erases all your banking information from the service. If you change your mind, download and set up Samsung Pay again.
