Why does the transaction history on my Samsung phone not include all Samsung Pay transactions?
Each device is assigned a device account number and shows only transactions completed with its device account number. The device account number is different from your physical card number. This security feature helps us to manage situations when a device is lost, stolen or upgraded. For a full transaction history, please review your account history in online or mobile banking or on your account statement.
