Samsung already made clear it was planning to merge Pay and Pass into a single Wallet app in February alongside the Galaxy S22 launch and then made a dedicated announcement in June to make things clearer. And now, the new combined app is finally rolling out more widely, with people around the globe reporting that it's becoming available in the Galaxy Store for them.

As spotted by SamMobile, the Wallet app is now in the Galaxy Store, taking over the listing for Samsung Pay, which previously lived in the same URL. This means that instead of creating a brand-new app, Samsung has opted to make Wallet an update to the existing Pay app, which should ease the transition for everyone.

The new Wallet app is your central place to store all of your payment cards, boarding passes, tickets, ID cards, health or vaccine records, and even passwords and cryptocurrency credentials. For a few select cars, you can also store your key. This makes the Wallet app a true replacement for your wallet, at least once authorities and other third parties have made sure that all of their data can be added to Wallet. Everything is secured by Samsung Knox, the company's secure environment for its mobile devices. Depending on which data you want to access, you need to authenticate via biometrics or your screen lock PIN first.

The new unified service is rolling out in the US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK. If you don’t want to seek out the application actively, Samsung will prompt you to update to the new service when you open the Pay or Pass app at some point. Wallet is available for all Samsung phones running Android 9 Pie or higher.

Depending on your region, you can try your luck with either of these Galaxy Store links:

• France: Samsung Wallet
• Germany: Samsung Wallet
• Spain: Samsung Wallet
• US: Samsung Wallet

If none of the Galaxy Store links work for you, you can also try your luck over at APK Mirror. There, you need to install both the new Samsung Wallet app and the latest Samsung Pay Framework to get everything to work.

Meanwhile, Google Wallet hasn't made it into the public just yet, despite Google announcing it with much fanfare during Google I/O 2022 in May.
