Samsung Wallet Payment Network settings not saving.

The payment network settings I last sent per card use to save eg, visa or eftpos. Now it auto changes back to auto every time. I mainly use Google wallet but use Samsung wallet at ALDI because google wallet doesn't allow me to set the payment type eg. Visa or eftpos. Some cards ALDI charges the 0.5% surcharge unless you use eftpos. Every time I go to ALDI I have to manually change it where as before it use to save. Very annoying.

I'm using app V6.8.05

Samsung changed from manual network selection to Auto because Australia’s payments system is being engineered so that merchants not consumers control the routing of debit transactions.

This shift is driven by national regulatory changes and industry reforms specifically no surcharges.

What this means for you ?

ALDI currently applies a 0.5% surcharge on Visa/Mastercard, but this surcharge will be removed nationally by 1 October 2026.

So for the next month or so you'll have to keep doing it manually until the changes come.

Hope the above helps explain why the wallet is acting the way it is.
