Samsung Next invests in Curve's solution, future alternative to Apple Pay

The Samsung-owned venture capital fund has made a strategic investment in UK all-in-one card fintech Curve. This announcement follows the pre-launch of Curve's solution on iOS, presented as the first concrete alternative to Apple Pay. Indeed, the coming into force of the Digital Markets Act should force Apple to open up access to its NFC chips to the competition. An opportunity that the fintech has already identified and for which it has already presented its solution.
