7. Are my payments safe with Samsung Pay?

Yes. When you use Samsung Pay, your Citizens First Bank card number isn’t stored on your phone or given to the merchant. A unique digital code is created specifically for that device. You still enjoy all the benefits of your Citizens First Bank debit card, which includes our Zero Liability policy that protects you from unauthorized purchases.

8. How are my privacy and personal information protected?

Since Samsung Pay doesn’t store your credit or debit card number on the device, you never reveal your name, card number or security code to merchants.
