Samsung Launches Galaxy Card as Visa Credit Card Embedded in Samsung Wallet
Samsung Electronics America launched the Samsung Galaxy Card on Jul 21, 2026, a Visa credit card embedded directly in Samsung Wallet. The card is Samsung's first credit card product in the U.S. market. It carries no annual fee and offers 5% cash back on Samsung purchases made online or in-store.
The product keeps the issuance and customer experience within Samsung's own wallet rather than routing through traditional bank channels. Visa serves as the card network. The issuing bank partner was not disclosed in the initial reporting.
