After a recent partnership with the Korea Federation of Banks, the global tech giant, Samsung has shown interest in UAE-based fintech startup VoucherSkout to introduce a digital savings service across the UAE called Samsung Pay Vouchers.

Established in 2016, VoucherSkout is a voucher-based value delivery platform, which delivers 50% off deals in the UAE. The company provides deals focused on food, hotels, clothing and other lifestyle brands. The company enables them to avail half off or buy-one-get-one-free offers at various brand outlets across the country.

According to the deal, VoucherSkout’s offers will be integrated with digital payments platform, Samsung Pay to offer 50% off discounts to customers using Samsung phones.

David Tobias, Founder of VoucherSkout said, “Samsung Pay Vouchers is the first tech collaboration of its kind between a UAE tech startup and a global mobile heavyweight. The opportunity is significant due to high smartphone penetration and a consumer market that is becoming increasingly value driven.” Further, he added, “We are looking forward to announcing expansion plans into other markets in the near future.”

VaucherSkout has developed a platform that aims to change the way in which user and merchant work together giving control back to the customer. The fast-growing startup has more than 45,000 users and 300 merchants across the UAE.
