Do you need to unlock your phone to use the app?

Actually it's really simple - double press the sleep/wake button and either faceID or fingerprint, choose your card and tap. quicker than getting your card out your wallet...

Samsung Pay only work for the country the phone was sold in, on iphone I can load cards from any country, my Monzo (UK) card is loaded on iphone purchased in SA
