Shop on-the-go with Samsung Pay

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. See the Samsung Pay Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) below.
Once you launch the app you can add your Sandy Spring Bank cards to your Samsung device. It’s as easy as taking a picture of your card!
Look for the contactless symbol whenever you shop, and 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.
