Samsung Electronics' mobile payment service Samsung Pay was launched in China on March 29 in partnership with China UnionPay, the South Korean company said.

Samsung said in a statement that its mobile payment service will be available from March 29 to swipe your card anywhere in China.

Samsung Pay is currently available on Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S6 edge-plus and Galaxy Note5 in China. The service will be supported by mid-range models in the future.

The users of those Samsung smartphones can select credit and debit cards from nine Chinese banks, while six more Chinese banks will support the Samsung mobile payment service in the future.
