Yes, AmEx. One forummer reported every time but I never had issues with this because Maybank told me mine is already activated permanently.

I heard that there are many fraud cases with Amex card for online transactions, thats why they disable it by default.

Yes, one of the measures to counter online fraud cases.

Not sure if a payment platform based on phone model will work....

Having problem with AMEX at Apple online store

The Samsung Pay can use the magnetic transmission similar to the magnetic strip in the credit card. If the terminal support magnetic swipe, theoretically it should support Samsung Pay.

Normally if have Samsung Pay. Apple pay is coming soon

Magnetic?....we have migrated away from magnetic strip to chip a long time ago...only the great us of a still use magnetic strip information storage....

It's based on nfc... which is a non proprietary standard....but the system is based on phone signature, hence limited phone models that will work....

It can be open, not restricting phone model/made, as long as nfc enabled.... just like keyless entry in some hotels nowadays....use your phone as key to open your hotel door....

Yes, I think most cards in Malaysia are chip based. But I think some terminal might still support magnetic swipe. Countries like USA still mainly use magnetic swipe. (Unbelievable, right?) So, some shops might still use them so that they can support foreign customer.

Since Samsung Pay is a proprietary payment format, I guess that they can limit to whatever model they want (and maybe hardware dependent). Android Pay should support more devices (as long as the device is using Android 4.4 and support NFC)

Malaysia is 100% chip compliant for many years.... however, as long as there are countries that use magnetic strip storage, cards will still come with dual mode storage....

Some localised cards like ATM or restricted debit cards in some countries already are mono storage....they come sans strip....

still no body answer my question:

Are MaybankPay Vs Samsung Pay = same?

both uses app utilising NFC....

FYI, McD terminal, AEON MV & Quill city mall which uses new MBB terminal about to tap & pay uses MaybankPay app....

Not the same....

Maybank pay only for maybank issued visa cards....using visa wave terminals....

Samsung pay can capture any card and also loyalty cards....

Can anyone explain to me whats the difference (non-rewards) when using AMEX and Mastercard ?

But this is from Maybank who promote Samsung pay.

Ideally Maybank will restrict to its own visa paywave card.
