This Samsung Wallet upgrade could change how you shop — if you live in the right state
Samsung is previewing a Buy Now, Pay Later payment feature for Samsung Wallet users in the US.
- Samsung is testing “Installment Payments” for its Wallet app, a Buy Now, Pay Later feature that was previously called Instant Installment.
- Installment Payments in Samsung Wallet allows eligible users in specific US states to split purchases using select Visa and Mastercard credit cards.
- The early access program for the feature runs from April 28 to June 6, 2025.
Samsung phone users have access to Samsung Wallet, a digital wallet that lets them store and manage payment cards, IDs, keys, and more. Earlier in the year, Samsung announced a Buy Now, Pay Later service called Instant Installment for Samsung Wallet, which aimed to simplify in-store purchases. Samsung is now enrolling users for a trial of Instant Installment (now called “Installment Payments”), but only for residents of certain states.
Samsung is sending out emails to some of its customers in the US, inviting them to join the waitlist for an early access program for Samsung Wallet’s Installment Payments feature. Sammyguru received one such email for the waitlist. Eligible users will also see a banner for Installment Payments in the Samsung Wallet app.
