Samsung Pay launching in Puerto Rico w/ Banco Popular

Puerto Rico’s largest bank, Banco Popular, will now be compatible with Samsung Pay. Customers with Samsung Pay-compatible devices on Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Claro will be able to add eligible cards from Banco Popular to their Samsung Pay accounts.

Here is a list of phones compatible with Samsung Pay in Puerto Rico:

• Galaxy S6
• Galaxy S6 Active
• Galaxy S6 edge
• Galaxy S6 edge+
• Galaxy Note5
• Galaxy S7
• Galaxy S7 Active
• Galaxy S7 edge
• Galaxy A5 coming soon on Claro

Samsung also notes we can expect the payment service to arrive to Brazil, Canada, and the UK this year.
