Samsung Pay teams up with Boost for seamless, cashless payments in Malaysia
Samsung Malaysia is teaming up with Axiata Digital eCode Sdn Bhd’s Boost e-wallet to enable effortless cashless payments via their Samsung Pay app on Samsung Galaxy smartphones. Now, you can effectively enjoy Boost’s services and features within the Samsung Pay app itself.
This integration of Boost and Samsung Pay means that it’s even easier to conduct cashless payments with a host of business establishments in Malaysia via Boost’s extensive network of partner merchants while harnessing Samsung Pay’s extensive features that include loyalty cards, their robust Samsung Knox security for peace of mind and patented Near-Field Communication (NFC) and Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) tech.

As a Samsung Pay user for over a year, I am personally excited to be able to link my two most used payment methods – Boost and Samsung Pay – to handle all my transactions,” said Mohd Khairil Abdullah, CEO of Boost.
