What makes Samsung's acquisition exciting is that it could potentially include LoopPay into its component chain, allowing a swift roll-out of the MST technology across its mobile products, including its tablets and smartwatches. Combined with LoopPay's claim that its technology will work with 90% of the payment terminals currently in use, Samsung's ability to grab significant market share is very likely. Having the mobile payment offering built-in and removing the need to buy additional hardware to run it, Samsung has a point of difference that no other providers come close to offering right now.
