Samsung Pay Adds 'International Student ID'... Verification and Discount Benefits in 114 Countries

Samsung Electronics announced that starting from the 29th, users will be able to register their physical International Student Identity Card (ISIC) on Samsung Pay and use related services.

Samsung Pay users will be able to easily verify their identity and receive student discount benefits through Samsung Pay without having to carry the physical International Student Identity Card separately.

The Samsung Pay International Student Identity Card can be used in 114 countries including the Americas, Europe, and Oceania. It supports student discounts at affiliated overseas museums, accommodations, restaurants, shopping, railways, and more, just like the physical International Student Identity Card.

The process to register the International Student Identity Card on Samsung Pay is simple. After updating Samsung Pay to the latest version, users can register by selecting 'Add Student ID' in the 'Mobile ID' menu. Registration requires the customer verification number of the International Student Identity Card issued on the ISIC website. Once registered, running the Samsung Pay International Student Identity Card will display the official hologram animation identical to the physical card on the screen.

The 'International Student Identity Card' is a representative international student ID that has been issued to over 100 million students worldwide since its inception in 1953. In South Korea, about 56,000 students were issued the card in 2022 alone.

Meanwhile, Samsung Pay currently supports the 'Mobile Driver's License Verification Service' and 'High School & Innovative University Student IDs.' In the future, it plans to support International Student Identity Cards with check card functions to provide greater convenience to users.
