Samsung is set to launch its payments service in South Korea , after a series of false starts . Consumer group Absa said select clients will be able to start using Samsung Pay before its commercial launch . “The big thing for us is we have one shot at getting this right,” Samsung’s vice president for mobile in Africa, Craige Fleischer, said in an interview with TechCentral in April 2017. Samsung Pay was originally scheduled for launch in Q1 2017 , a date which was then pushed to Q3 of that year . It now looks possible that Samsung may announce the local launch of its payments service to India with the launch of the Note9 on 9 September .
