Samsung has begun rolling out a trial version of its mobile payments platform in South Korea, the company announced Thursday.
Samsung Pay, the company's answer to Apple Pay and Android Pay, is currently available to a select group of users with the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge smartphones.
The trial suggests Samsung is getting closer to a full rollout of its Apple Pay competitor. Although the company did not provide an official launch date, previous reports indicate the U.S launch is slated for September.
In practice, Samsung Pay works much like Apple Pay and the soon-to-be released Android Pay.
"When it is time to pay, just launch the app, hold your Samsung device near the credit card terminal and authorize it with the touch of your finger," Samsung wrote in a blog post.
