Some major banks like Discover, Capital One, and Simple Bank still don’t support Samsung Pay, but it should be just a matter of time before these banks jump onboard Samsung’s payment service.

The payment service is only supported on the Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S6, Galaxy Note 6, Galaxy S6 edge+, and the Galaxy Note 5.
