Samsung Pay now lets you withdraw cash at the ATM - CNET

Every forget your debit card but need cash from the ATM? Samsung's got you covered.

You'll now be able to use Samsung Pay on your Galaxy phones to withdraw cash from ATMs, no debit card needed. And Samsung also added support for membership cards, letting you redeem points for rewards and benefits, and Samsung Pay will also work with gift cards. You'll also be able to use it for transit, paying on the go. And Samsung Pay also supports online payments, letting you shop seamlessly in apps without leaving your screen.

Nathalie Oestmann, one of the Samsung execs in charge of Samsung Pay, said at the company's developer conference Wednesday that Samsung will be expanding its mobile payments service to Australia, Brazil, Canada, Singapore, Spain and the UK this year.

Samsung didn't say what banks will support the Samsung Pay ATM withdrawals, and it didn't immediately respond to a request for more information.

Samsung launched Samsung Pay a year ago to let users pay for goods and services by waving their smartphone near the register instead of swiping a credit card. The announcement came alongside the unveiling of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, which will be the first phones to use the feature. At the time Samsung revealed its mobile payments service, it simply said it would launch in the US and South Korea in the summer and arrive in Europe and China later.
