As one of the eternal rivals of Samsung, it was not really a surprise that LG also deploys its own mobile payment system with almost similar capacities such as Samsung Pay. Of course, LG wanted that LG Pay to be able to do more, but the rather disturbed beginnings of the system seemed to prefigure its premature disappearance. Although less than four years in the United States, the company announced that it would close LG payments in stages, which is not really surprising because it also stops its mobile activity.
The vision of LG Pay was certainly interesting and predeed Apple throwing his Apple card. Return When Samsung focused solely on NFC and MST technologies for Samsung Pay, LG has been rumored to work on a physical “white card” for its money-free payment system. In the end, however, LG Pay adopted the MST as well but never really took off even on key markets such as South Korea and the United States.
Now, LG informs its customers in the United States that it has made the painful decision gradually eliminate pay LG, a.k.a. LG WALLET COUNTRY. This will probably come a disappointment for loyal lg followers who may have known the last differences of the LG mobile business for a longer time. The good news is that at risk they can stretch it until November this year.
LG PAY will not stop immediately but its characteristics will die gradually. As of June 1, users will no longer buy or add gift cards while August 1,2021, marks the end to accept new users. On November 1, 2021, LG pay in the United States will close completely and will no longer be usable.
LG says that users will always be able to make payments until that date, but you also advise you to start preparing it using all their perks card balances. Users must also save any other gift card they may have registered in LG Pay. And those who are completely frustrated by all these can also be swallowing early rather than wait for this dark day.
