Samsung Pay updated with support for Regions Bank

Samsung has revealed that it’s now added support for a selection of Regions Bank’s debit and credit cards to Samsung Pay. It’s important to note, however, that not all cards issued by the bank are compatible — so you’re going to need to head over to Samsung’s website to see if your cards is.

If you own one of two of Regions Bank’s supported cards, you can activate Samsung Pay immediately and start effortlessly making mobile payments right now. Unfortunately, there aren’t any promotions available for new customers at this time, but if you hold out for a couple more weeks, there should be a new one on its way.
