Samsung Wallet Enhancement for Ponta Users

In a significant development for Samsung Galaxy users, the company has announced an upgrade to its digital wallet service, Samsung Wallet, specifically designed to facilitate the usage of the Ponta Card. Managed by Loyalty Marketing Co., Ltd., the service commenced on February 19, 2026. This update aims to streamline the experience for users looking to engage with the Ponta loyalty program.

Samsung Wallet serves as a versatile mobile application that consolidates various payment methods, including credit and debit cards, QR code and barcode payments, loyalty cards, and boarding passes into a single platform. Previously, users needed to open the app and tap on ‘Ponta’ to display their Ponta Card barcode, which required multiple steps. However, with this new upgrade, Ponta Cards are now readily displayed as soon as Samsung Wallet is opened. This means users can quickly access their loyalty points, making it easier than ever to earn and redeem Ponta points, enhancing the overall user experience.

The update also introduces a more user-friendly interface by featuring the Ponta Card at the top of the Samsung Wallet. This allows users to present their Ponta card alongside their credit cards in one seamless step. This integration optimizes the checkout process, making it significantly faster and more efficient.

To celebrate this service upgrade, Loyalty Marketing Co., Ltd. is running a promotional campaign from February 19 to March 31, 2026. Users who add their Ponta Card to Samsung Wallet during this period will receive a bonus of 500 Ponta points as an incentive. This initiative not only encourages existing users to adopt the new functionality but also invites new users to experience the benefits of the Ponta loyalty program.

Here are some key details regarding the service update and campaign:
