Samsung's reply:
It must be inconvenient this could be as IR blaster (peel remote app) is not working after updating Samsung pay app. I will be glad to assist you with the required information.
It is observed that, since updating the Samsung Pay application to latest version the IR Blaster is not working as it should. So, Samsung is planning to address this particular issue on the new Software update that will be release on 09/28/2015.
We request you to get back to us if you have any further questions.
If you are still experiencing the issue, please contact your bank and confirm if their card will support digital wallet.
