Help Samsung Pay Notices (from a .tw Note 8 Used in USA)

I probably should not have - but I registered my Note 8 with Samsung - had to register for Taiwan because it is an Asian unit I bought.

I am now getting Samsung Pay notices in Chinese (?) (Well I think)

My question is: If I factory reset my Note 8, and start fresh - will it still give me the Samsung Pay Notices in Chinese?

(Not that I use it - but I would like to get it switched).

afair - it did not do that at first before I registered.
 
Its possible it “defaults” to Asian , with an option to switch to English.

What does Samsung tech support say?

If it’s annoying to get those notices, and if it were me, I’d waste no time in factory resetting.
 
It will be Chinese notifications and information. I suspect the baked-in Samsung Pay app is localised for Taiwan use only, and probably just can't be registered with a US(foreign) credit/debit card. Do you know if it's an Exynos or Snapdragon based variant Note8?

Exynos5 / exynos8895 (SM-N950F/DS)

While I have not used it I did register a Card on it

I will give it a try at a grocery store this week and see

That works I just tested it
 
Now you've activated and used the Samsung Pay in the US, I presume it's not doing any more Chinese notifications?
I still get notices in Chinese - just got 2 yesterday

I think toiday I will backUp (Smart Switch - Nova and MailDroid)

(I will not register it - as it will only register in Aisa)

well not a good sign, it is showing Chinese test as it is factory resetting.
