Barclays’ partnership model is purpose-built for brands like Samsung that want to turn customer loyalty into lasting engagement. Employing a partner-first model with deep co-brand expertise, Barclays will help Samsung deliver innovative payment options tailored to meet the needs of its diverse and growing customer base — another sign of momentum as Barclays expands its US digital banking presence through global partnerships.

“Partnering with Samsung is a strong example of Barclays’ partner-first strategy and the innovation we’re bringing to the market with some of the world’s most recognised brands, Together, we’re creating seamless, rewarding digital banking capabilities and products that meet customers where they are – in their Samsung Wallet – and fit naturally into how they live, shop and connect,” said Denny Nealon, CEO of Barclays US Consumer Bank. 

The programme also underscores Barclays’ continued focus on building customised co-branded card programmes that drive engagement, strengthen loyalty and create long-term value across large customer ecosystems.

“Consumers expect payments to be embedded into the digital experiences they use every day. By bringing together Samsung’s innovation, Barclays’ co-brand capabilities, and Visa’s trusted network, Samsung Galaxy Card delivers a connected experience that helps consumers earn rewards while providing the security and acceptance needed to support commerce wherever they choose to shop,” said Kirk Stuart, SVP, Head of North America Enablers, Merchants and Fintechs at Visa.
