Hi all, I am a new fitbit user. I bought a charge 3, special edition mostly to utilize the fit-bit pay.

After research, I see my small town local bank isnt supported in the Fitbit pay, but is with samsung pay.

Can I use samsung pay on my Fitbit? The store that sold it to me said I can, but I cant find instructions on how to do so. Thoughts?

Sorry, @Nancyice, but there is no app on the Charge 3 for any service other than Fitbit Pay. If, though, you have a Samsung phone, you should be able to use Samsung Pay on the phone. Probably what the store meant to say was that they could both be used without conflicting with each other.

Samsung Pay is specific to certain Samsung phones.  The phones allow a user to pay by emulating a swipe of the magnetic stripe on the card.  It is more widely available than Google Pay, Apple Pay or Fitbit Pay.

WHAT CAN I DO IF MY BANK OR CARD ISN'T SUPPORTED BY FITBIT PAY?

In many countries, you can use a payment app, such as Revolut or boon. Download the app on your phone, and connect your existing bank account. Add your new digital account to your Fitbit watch by following the instructions in how do I use fitbit pay.

For more information:

  • Revolut
  • boon
