Following in the footsteps of the Apple Wallet app, Samsung has now launched its very own digital wallet for Galaxy users to easily store and manage their digital keys, boarding passes, ID cards and more in a single mobile app. With this, Samsung aims to provide a simple and secure platform for its mobile users within the Galaxy ecosystem to easily access important passports, digital keys and other documents directly on their devices.

Samsung recently shared an official blog post to announce the Samsung Wallet. The Korean giant describes it as "a new platform that enables Galaxy users to organize digital keys, boarding passes, ID cards and more, in an easy-to-use and secure mobile application."

Samsung says its digital wallet is protected by its internal security system, Samsung Knox. In addition to this, some sensitive items in Samsung Wallet are stored in an isolated Secure Element, protecting all these items from physical or digital hacking. It also leverages the Samsung Blockchain Wallet to allow users to monitor their cryptocurrency investments.

The new Samsung Wallet also allows users to store and easily access their debit cards, loyalty cards, membership cards and more with an easy-to-use, swipe-based interface. The platform supports Samsung Pass, which means users can also store their passwords to quickly log into apps and websites via the Samsung Wallet app.
