  • Samsung-SoFi’s money manager app is FDIC-insured 6x of a bank account

    Samsung Money by SoFi lands in the US with a physical card and ...

    Samsung has officially launched its new money management
    service. Dubbed Samsung Money by SoFi, the mobile service is
    available to Samsung Pay users in the U.S., and will give subscribers
    access to a cash management app and a Debit Mastercard, amongst
    other benefits. Customers will find their digital debit card in their
    Samsung Pay wallet as soon as they activate and fund their Samsung
    Money account, and they will only need to tap their phone to
    activate their physical card once they receive it in the mail. 

    The physical card will not display the user’s card number, expiration
    date, or CVC number in order to make it more difficult for fraudsters
    to get hold of that information. For added safety, Samsung Money
    by SoFi comes with the defense-grade security of Samsung Knox,
    which protects users’ information all the way down to the chip
    level. And the FDIC insures every Samsung Money by SoFi account
    up to $1.5 million (6x that of a traditional bank account). 
    Active Samsung Money by SoFi users will soon have access to
    discounts on Samsung Galaxy smartphones, tablets, wearables, TVs,
    laptops, washers, refrigerators and more on Samsung.com. It can be
    instantly activated and has no fees. In addition, they will earn
    Samsung Rewards points for every purchase made within Samsung
    Pay. An added benefit for Samsung Pay users is being able to fund
    Samsung Money by SoFi account instantly from other registered
    debit cards already in Pay wallet.
