pokemon/" target="_blank">sung/" target="_blank">Samsung Pay may launch in Canada in the coming days, according to a customer support screenshot shared with android/" target="_blank">android/" target="_blank">Android Central.Twitter user Saifali Maknojiya reportedly posed a question to a Samsung customer service representative through its built-in app and received a response that Samsung Pay, the company's competitor to Android Pay and Apple Pay, would launch in Canada in the first week of November.According to the representative, the service will first launch with CIBC Visa cards, which would not be surprising considering the bank's willingness to experiment with new mobile payment partners.CIBC was the first Canadian bank to launch NFC-based mobile payments back in 2011 in partnership with Rogers.

The LG G6 might feature MST mobile payment tech similar to Samsung Pay
MST is the kind of tech that you find on most debit and credit cards, and because pokemon/" target="_blank">sung/" target="_blank">Samsung Pay uses this same same technology, it means that it can be used at virtually any retail store that has a debit/credit card reader.While NFC terminals are becoming more and more popular in physical outlets, the inclusion of MST with Samsung Pay gives it a level of functionality that you just don't get with any other mobile payment service.However, thanks to recent industry reports, that could be changing very soon.These reports suggest that LGis working on implementing MST technology into their own mobile payment service that will debut with the G6, meaning you won't be limited to using NFC terminals to pay with it.
