Gone are the days of paper money, fiddly change and chip and PIN.
That's right, whenever you're in need of a seamless McFlurry transaction or you just plain forgot your wallet, your smartphone is now on hand to save the day.
What to Read Next
Well, that is if you're rocking Apple Pay or Android Pay.
Sadly, continuing its rough 2016, it appears as if Samsung's equivalent will now fail to meet its launch projection.
Samsung Pay was initially set to drop in the UK by the end of the year, but an altercation with banks now means the service won't arrive until next year. Boo!
It's not clear which banks the South Korean giant is having issues with, or when exactly this will all be resolved. But the platform is expected to roll out with an app that's accessible across all devices, not just Sammy's.
However, that's not the biggest pull of Samsung Pay.
What makes it different to the current payment solutions is its ability to shake hands with magnetic strip readers, as well as standard NFC chips. This allows Samsung to branch Pay out to more locations, when it does eventually arrive.
Currently, those in the US and South Korea are enjoying the feature, along with nine other nations who joined the bandwagon earlier this year.
Looks like Samsung users are stuck with Android Pay until 2017, so do your best to enjoy the rest of your day. Sorry, guys.
