So with the announcement of the S6 they also announced Samsung Pay, an application where you could link your debit/credit card to an account and pay via NFC AND standard magnetic credit card readers. This will be readily available for the S6 this summer, will we see Samsung Pay on the S5? I love using NFC tap to pay with Google Wallet on my S5 when I can but NFC is not as prevalent yet (though that my change in my area since the transit/subway system is due to switch over to an NFC tap & pay system). So to have an app where I can 'tap and pay' with both NFC and a regular magnetic strip reader would be great.

But if the S5 doesn't get Samsung Pay, any word if Google Wallet or Android Pay will support the capability to tap & pay via a regular magnetic strip card reader and NFC?
 
I am assuming they would be using the same technology. I would also like to know .
