Hello community members,
In an effort to consolidate all user concerns into one place, this will now be the official Samsung Pay thread. Please post all comments about Samsung Pay here.
Thank you,

So as long as you have the new update installed just download these apk files and you can get Samsung Pay!! Make sure you install them in order!! Framework first then the app.
Samsung Pay Framework 01.16.0002 APK Download - APKMirror
Samsung Pay 1.3.2116 APK Download - APKMirror
The latest update prepares the phone for Samsung pay. Here is the info from the release notes. Looks like it is coming via the play store.

framework would not download but pay would. pay would not accept a citi card.
Sent from my iPad.
I had the same problem. It wouldn't take my Amex or Citi double cash (BTW it is the one used in Samsung adds). I was so happy when it installed and let me log in but now I'm pissed I can't use it...
There is something fishy going on here (I'm sure we all already know that).
Verizon pushes an update to allow the use of Samsung Pay, but only includes half (framwork only) of what we need to use the app. They include a note in the update saying to get the other half, go to the Google Play store when it is available. I contacted Samsung Mobile and they flat out told me it will NOT be available in the Play store. The guy even sounded shocked that I would even think that lol - like I offended him or something.
When I contacted verizon about it, the lady I was chatting with took every opportunity to dismiss it altogether and change the subject. There is obviously a huge miscommunication between Verizon, Samsung and the consumers.
Sure, we can just change one thing in the security settings and download the APKs, but we should not have to do that...
Check the Galaxy Store.
That's where all the Pay update comes from.
That was the first place I checked. It would make more sense for it to be
there instead of the Play store.
these APIs worked for me...got my business Amex working finally.
had to use security code on the front of the card..instead of the back! doh!!!

I found it on Google Play. From the information I've found it won't go live
until the 20th, but it IS on Google Play.
I have checked all over google play and no go. Also non update for my note 5 as of yet.
I think I've decided that Samsung Pay is just a big sham by Samsung. Even after installing it on my VZW N5, it doesn't work, because Samsung does not have the banking support they should or portrayed they would have. I thought having Visa as a sponsor meant that Visa cards would work- but that's not the case. It just means that Visa cards issues by the supported banks will work. The banks supported needs to be larger, in fact, it needs to not matter what banks support Samsung Pay. I'm not sure if Android Pay is bank specific or not, but Samsung Pay is.
All this hoopla about VZW holding back - Samsung Pay barely supports enough banks to make it a viable option. Was a great idea, but its a shame that the banking support is so minimal.
It's not on Google play on my notes or edge+. Still no update on either of my phones.
Type in samsung pay Google play store on your pc browser it should pop up. Also no phone update for my note 5 as of yet either. Samsung pay is null and void for me as my bank don't support it yet.
I have yet to see Samsung Pay in the Google Play store either on a cellular device or on a pc browser.
Could someone who has seen this in the Google Play store post a link to this app from your pc browser?

this worked for me.....

This will install from the play store on your phone. It installed the VZW update for me as well.
I did not receive any vzw update when I downloaded it.
That links provides the following error, when following it from a desktop:
"We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server"
verizon don't you understand the Note 5 customers like me are the most into this Samsung Pay? Please send us the update. The note customer's are the tec. junkies that like the bleeding edge. SEND US THE UPDATE PLEASE samsungpay
Samsung Pay loaded all of the files today starting around 12:00. They did say that it was going live today for Verizon and now you should be able to get everything without side loading or tricks. I was able to load my BOA and Citi debit and credit cards with no issues. All that's left is to use it later today.
Verizon, please be ready in the future when new items and apps come available for all devices. This incident with Samsung Pay should have been handled more professionally and with better tact. We, as consumers, did not ask for the impossible, just for the company that we use to be more proactive and expedient.
Now, on a different note, thanks for finally supporting and releasing the app so that we could make our own decisions on what works best for us between Android Pay and Samsung Pay. There may be situations where one is more justified to use than the other but now we at least have that option.
If anyone has trouble finding the app, just login to your Google Play account on your computer and install it from there. It will appear on your phone a few seconds afterwards. Then launch the app and it should gather the necessary files from Samsung and Verizon to work. Enjoy everyone! It has been great to discuss and support each other for the benefit of Galaxy device users.
Unfortunately there are still groups of Verizon customers that have received the update from Verizon and still cannot download the update from the Play store. I am one of them. I have spoken to Samsung support the past 2 days and they said to give it 24 more hours. Any others still with this issue?
I still can not find it in the Google Play store. Either on my phone or PC.
I received the update for my phone, but cannot download or even find
samsung pay in the play store.
When I spoke with Samsung Mobile 2 days ago, they quoted me 21Oct.
As for the Verizon update, I got in on my Note5 today.
Jogle, which phone do you have? Are they able to release Samsung pay by phone model? That's what they did with the old ISIS (SoftCard).
Looks like Samsung has some mercy for us verizon users, lol
They are letting you get the free wireless charger again...Samsung Pay Wireless Charger
Enjoy!!
Thanks I redeemed mine today (subject to verification)
