Coinbase users in Canada and the United States can now use Samsung Pay to buy crypto directly through the Coinbase mobile app on iOS and Android. The new feature is rolling out gradually to select users and will be available more widely in the coming weeks.
With the update, users can make crypto deposits and purchases using Samsung’s mobile wallet without switching apps or re-entering payment details.
“Funding your crypto journey should be as easy as sending a text or tapping to pay at checkout,” Coinbase said in its announcement. “That’s why we’re making it even more seamless to buy crypto directly from your mobile device.”
Coinbase called the integration a step toward making crypto more accessible: “Whether you’re diving in or doubling down, Samsung Pay makes buying crypto feel as easy as tapping to pay.”
The company also hinted at broader plans: “The feature will be gradually rolled out to select users in the U.S. and Canada over the next month, with full availability expected in the near future.”
“This new integration brings together the convenience of Samsung’s trusted mobile wallet with Coinbase’s secure and intuitive platform, unlocking a smoother path to crypto for millions of mobile users,” said the company in a statement to iPhone in Canada.
Coinbase said it plans to expand Samsung Pay support to more countries down the line.
