Samsung has launched "Tap to Transfer" for Galaxy users in the US, allowing peer-to-peer fund transfers via NFC by tapping two devices together or tapping a smartphone against a recipient’s contactless bank card. This development lowers the friction for mobile payments by bypassing third-party apps and manual data entry, signaling a strategic move to lock users into the Samsung Wallet ecosystem while accelerating the adoption of device-as-terminal functionality.
