Samsung has teamed up with One 97 Communications, the parent company of Paytm, to introduce a new feature for booking flights, buses, movies, and event tickets directly through Samsung Wallet. This collaboration is designed to simplify and enhance the booking process for consumers by integrating it seamlessly into the Samsung Wallet application.
Galaxy smartphone users will now find it easier to access Paytm’s extensive services—including flight and bus bookings, as well as movie and event ticket purchases—all from within their Samsung Wallet.
The new feature can be accessed by updating the Samsung Wallet app via auto-update or manually through the Galaxy Store.
Additionally, Galaxy smartphone users who utilize the Paytm app will be able to directly add their bus, flight, and movie tickets to the Samsung Wallet using the ‘Add to Samsung Wallet’ feature. This integration will facilitate easy entry at airports, bus terminals, cinemas, and event venues. Tickets for events booked through the Paytm Insider app can also be added to the Samsung Wallet.
This partnership not only broadens the scope of services accessible through Samsung Wallet but also includes features such as tap & pay, UPI payments, bill payments, boarding passes, travel tickets, and more.
Madhur Chaturvedi, Senior Director, MX Business at Samsung India, highlighted the convenience of this integration, stating that it allows Galaxy smartphone users to effortlessly purchase tickets without the need to switch between apps.
The spokesperson for Paytm added, “By combining Samsung’s cutting-edge technology with Paytm’s wide-ranging services, we are making it easier than ever for consumers to manage their bookings and payments through a single unified platform.”
