Samsung, India’s largest consumer electronics brand, has announced that Galaxy smartphone users can now access all their essential Digital IDs such as Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Driving License and Vehicle Registration Certificate as part of Samsung Wallet, reiterating Samsung’s commitment to being a strong partner of India with its vision of #PoweringDigitalIndia. Galaxy smartphone users can also store their Co-WIN vaccination certificates conveniently and securely on their phone.
In addition, Samsung has introduced several new travel and mobility features to the all-new Samsung Wallet, which merges and enhances the existing features of Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass on Galaxy smartphones, letting consumers have a seamless card Tap and Pay, UPI payments and bill payments experience.
Apart from the four Digital IDs – Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Driving License and Vehicle Registration Certificate – users will be able to access over 2,000 other IDs/documents directly from Samsung Wallet. Samsung, however, will not store any of this information and the details will be displayed on the device within the Samsung Wallet app.
“Samsung Wallet is an easy-to-use, secure platform that holds everything a user’s digital life needs. You can access your essentials, including tokenized credit and debit cards, UPI, Digital IDs, travel tickets and boarding passes, Co-WIN vaccine certificates, among others. It includes everything you love about Samsung Pay along with new exciting features from Samsung Wallet. With Samsung Wallet, we are offering consumers an entirely safe and secure environment for accessing their cards, IDs and documents, bringing a new level of everyday convenience to mobile devices. This also strengthens our commitment to being a strong partner of India with our vision of Powering Digital India,” said Ms. Reshma Virmani, Director, Services & Engagement, Samsung India.
