Samsung Wallet to support biometric UPI payments for small transactions from December

Samsung has announced that starting December, Samsung Wallet users in India will be able to make Unified Payments Interface (UPI) transactions using biometric authentication such as fingerprint or face recognition instead of entering a PIN for smaller payments.

The feature will apply to low-value transactions, making digital payments faster and more seamless for Galaxy smartphone users. It will work through Samsung Wallet in partnership with NPCI and key UPI payment providers, ensuring compliance with security and transaction standards.

The update reflects Samsung’s broader push to deepen its fintech presence in India, where UPI dominates digital transactions. By integrating biometric authentication directly into Samsung Wallet, the company aims to simplify everyday payments while maintaining robust data protection for users.
