The payment infrastructure provider Coinflow has teamed up with Bastion, a licensed stablecoin custody and infrastructure provider, to add U.S. payouts for Samsung Wallet. The setup lets Galaxy users move stablecoin balances from Samsung Wallet to a U.S. bank account or debit card. Samsung announced the stablecoin feature on October 7, 2026, and it is now available on 82 million eligible Galaxy devices in the U.S.
That number is big, but the feature itself is fairly practical. Bastion acts as the licensed custodian and infrastructure partner. Coinflow handles payouts through its network of licensed partners. The service converts stablecoins into U.S. dollars and sends the money to a user’s bank account or debit card. In simple terms, it gives Samsung Wallet users a way to cash out rather than just hold a balance.
How the payout works
The process happens inside Samsung Wallet. A user verifies their identity, links a bank account or debit card, enters the amount, and confirms the transfer. Coinflow supports three payout methods: push-to-card, Real-Time Payments, and Automated Clearing House. Transfer times depend on the method selected and the receiving institution. Push-to-card may be faster, while ACH can take longer. RTP sits somewhere in between, though actual speed still depends on the banks involved.
I think the key detail is that users do not need to leave Samsung Wallet to start the transfer. That may sound minor, but fewer steps can make a difference for people who are new to stablecoins. The service also uses licensed partners for payouts, which could help with trust and compliance. Still, it is not clear how many users will use the feature regularly. The reach is large, but regular use will depend on fees, limits, and how quickly transfers arrive.
What users can do
Eligible Galaxy users in the U.S. can try the payout option now. They should check that their device and account support the feature before starting. It is also worth confirming which payout method their bank accepts. A bank that supports RTP may offer a different experience from one that only accepts ACH. For larger amounts, users may want to test a small transfer first.
What to watch
The partnership shows payment firms and wallet providers are testing ways to connect stablecoin balances to everyday banking. The model depends on licensed custody and payout partners, so compliance and speed will matter. It is perhaps too early to say how much demand there is for Samsung Wallet payouts. But with 82 million eligible devices, even a small share of users could be significant.
