But the statement from BNM applies to transactions made with a physical card, not digital cards/ tokens. Since Samsung Pay is not a physical card then it would take the bank to reconfigure Samsung Pay for PIN transactions instead of signature.

Today encountered unsuccessful SPay at my usual car polish place. 1st time wanna try this SPay at this place.

The terminal looks like non-nfc version. I'm using Citi card.
The uncle not familiar with SPay but he is willing to allow to try it out.

So I asked him to press F2. Then the terminal prompt card number whereby from guide that I download from this page mentioned time to key-in the value.
Because the terminal asked for card, thus I tap at terminal right side, it received and then only asked to key-in payment value.
Terminal prompt asking either Debit or Credit, select Credit.
It asked again either the number correct or not. The number match wish SPay digital card number. He pressed confirm, then after awhile terminal prompt unable to honor it. Tried 3x, produced same results. Gave up. And pay using physical card (same card)

I'm wondering what went wrong here. Any input?

So far I never encountered issue with NFC enable terminal except stupid Uniqlo outlet which do not allow to pay using SPay. They even not allowed to pay using CIMBPay. Complaint to their official FB page, they claimed that's their policy and I sarcastically tease their orthodox approach.

Hi guys, I bought s8 from Singapore and my samsung pay Singapore's promotion. Is there any way to change it to Malaysia?

What is the KNOX counter and its function for?
Does it tie to some hardware security/encryption engine?

its better not to take any stupid step then.. leave it as it is..  as long as can use samsung pay is 

BHP wave bia Samsung pay only recognise Mastercard. Some BHP disable the wave function even Mastercard is used. Success BHP wave station at OUG and Kuchai Lama. Failed Old Klang Road towards PJ near Citizen condo.

Aeon Big wave only recognise Visa card. If Samsung Pay used with Mastercard, it will not recognise.

McDonald wave is most versatile accept both Master and Visa Samsung pay.

try flash the Malaysia ROM ?
make sure is SM-G950FD as this is the model number for Malaysia version S8
but if not mistaken flash stock rom doesn't triggered the knox
knox counter are use use to track whether user have been root or not
if doesn't root = 0
if root then will show 1, even unroot back the 1 counter is still there and cannot use Samsung Pay anymore

The special thing about Samsung pay even without wave it can use as a card using MST ( magnetic secure transmission) as a physical credit card but on some vendor Samsung pay fail to work on their machine I suspect could be like david said selected bank have not update their system to accept tokenization.

On one specify vendor even successful using MST the machine still ask for my cvv

Usually nfc is automatic on.

Real 3 number of cvv. The machine request for it.

that weird
and yes, better not risk it
better go and visit service center to check whether can change to Malaysia ROM or not

A hardware shop but if uses physical card it ask for pin.

yea
btw why require to turn on data when using Samsung pay, I don't get it
what if I go to a mall that have low signal or running slow data

I have one transaction not captured by Samsung Pay app.
I think I did turn on the data but perhaps that area is out of coverage with speed lesser than E.

It's OK. I have already completed the powerbank contest.
It's not so critical for me.

Neither.
But the transaction has already appeared in my e-statement.
The transaction has gone through with a receipt printout.
The said merchant is McD Tesco E-gate Penang.
That area is bad data coverage for Celcom.

today i managed to use sampay at gsc, gave them my original card number and then mst scan sampay

Because the cash register asked for a 16-digits CC number input.
You can provide the associating 16-digits virtual/digital CC numbers (provided you have it).

The cash register specially asking for 16 digits even though I tried to convince them to use the last 4-digit of the virtual CC number.

they need key in card details before using the terminal, you guys go gsc try, they will ask for cc number

they need key in full card number before using the terminal, you guys go gsc try, they will ask for cc number

Same situation as I encountered at Crocs.

not in gsc p.o.v, they want the numbers

Actually I didn't bring the physical card with me.
I had to dig into my e-statement to get it. LOL

For my case, I did mention it's not the terminal but the cash register.
