Oh..that's so bad to hear, Anyway, If you are ila bank, BBK and American Express Bahrain bank user can add there credit cards to wallet. If yes try to 1. Remove Magnetic/Heavy Cases
2. Reset the NFC Service: Sometimes the system process hangs. ​Go to Settings > Apps. ​Tap the Filter/Sort icon and toggle on Show system apps. ​Find NFC in the list. ​Tap Storage > Clear Cache and Clear Data, then restart your phone.

Thank you for reaching out. We understand how important it is to add your KFH credit card to Samsung Pay via NFC, and we're here to assist you.

Please follow these steps to resolve the issue:

  1. Ensure Samsung Pay is Supported in Your Region:
    While Samsung Pay is available in many regions, some countries or banks may not be supported for NFC payments. Please ensure that KFH is compatible with Samsung Pay in Bahrain.
  2. Check Software Updates:
    Make sure your Samsung S23 is running the latest software. Go to Settings > Software update > Download and install.
  3. Update Samsung Pay:
    Ensure that your Samsung Pay app is updated. Open the Google Play Store or Galaxy Store, search for Samsung Pay, and check for any available updates.
  4. Check NFC Settings:
    Go to Settings > Connections > NFC and payment and ensure that NFC is enabled.
  5. Re-add Your Card:
    Try removing the card from Samsung Pay and then adding it back. Open Samsung Pay > Cards > Select the card > Remove, then add it again by following the on-screen instructions.
  6. Verify with KFH:
    Ensure that your KFH credit card is eligible for use with Samsung Pay. Some cards may require additional activation steps or may not be supported for NFC payments.

If the issue persists, please provide more details, such as any error messages you're receiving or the exact steps you're following, so we can assist you further.
