Commonwealth Bank MasterCard holders are now able to use Samsung Pay for transactions.
Samsung Pay users can add their Commonwealth Bank MasterCard credit or debit cards to the app, and then make payments with their compatible Samsung tablets and wearables.
"With more than $6 billion of transactions across the CommBank app each week we know that our customers love using their phones to make payments," said Commonwealth Bank general manager of everyday banking and payments Michael Baumann.
"Since 2013 our customers have been able to use their smartphones to make payments. By offering customers the ability to pay with Samsung Pay we are combining choice and convenience."

Compatible devices include all Galaxy S6, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S8 models, plus Gear S2 and S3 smart watches.
As reported earlier today, there is no indication that the Commonwealth Bank is planning to support Apple Pay.
