paysafecard, Paysafe Group’s prepaid online cash payment method, announced that it has teamed up with Samsung and is now available as a payment method in the Galaxy Store, to buy apps for Samsung smartphones or make in-app purchases.
Samsung clients can now use cash to pay for apps online in the Galaxy Store and complete the transaction by simply using a 16-digit PIN. Almost 35% (World Bank 2017 figures) of adults in Europe and Central Asia still do not own a bank account, therefore they are potentially excluded from e-commerce transactions.
paysafecard is now available as a payment method in Samsung Galaxy Stores across 21 European countries, including Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and the UK.

Commenting on the collaboration, Udo Müller, CEO of paysafecard, said:
By working with Samsung, we are bringing cash-based payments to millions of additional consumers. With hundreds of paysafecard transactions already taking place worldwide every minute, this is another major step on our path to making paysafecard the payment method of choice in digital entertainment and lifestyle environments.
