Shop on-the-go with Samsung Pay™
It’s easy to add your Sandy Spring Bank Debit Mastercard® to Samsung Pay to conveniently make purchases with your compatible Samsung device.
What is Samsung Pay?
Samsung Pay is a highly secure way to pay with the latest Samsung devices. You can use latest compatible Samsung device almost wherever you shop.
Once you launch the app you can add your Sandy Spring Bank debit cards to Wallet® on your Samsung Device. It’s as easy as taking a picture of your debit card!
Look for the contactless symbol whenever you shop.
Simply unlock your device and hold it near the terminal to pay. Samsung Pay works at both the older magnetic strip terminal and the new contactless payment terminals anywhere you swipe your card. When you use Samsung Pay, transactions are authorized with your fingerprint, and a random token is used instead of your actual card details, so your information is safe. Plus your Sandy Spring Bank Debit Mastercard comes with Zero Liability coverage for added protection against identity theft.
