Seven years after Apple launched the Apple Card, Samsung officially entered the fintech market on July 21, 2026, partnering with Barclays to introduce the Samsung Galaxy Card on the Visa network. This virtual-first credit card offers cash back of up to 5%, including 5% cash back on hardware purchases through Samsung's official website, 3% on Samsung Wallet spending, 2% on designated streaming services, and 1% on other purchases. Cardholders can earn a $200 bonus by spending $2,000 within the first 90 days of opening the account. The card comes with a black metal physical card, and all cash back rewards are managed within the Samsung Wallet, supporting unified storage of various types of digital credentials.
