Yes, this is excellent!
I am sure you are aware of the play store allowing your finger print to verify app purchases.

Safeincloud works well as an alternative to lastpass.

Nine Exchange email app.

Why are devs so behind on this? I'm looking at HSBC, ebay, Amazon, PayPal etc. Practically any app that needs to authorise payments.
And seriously, Google ought to give guidance to devs on this by emphasising this being an obvious hardware direction that Google is going down, by putting it in their nexus devices. .

Anyone know of a very good bank account monitoring software?

I just came to nexus 7 from iPad 1. Had this great app called 'accounts'. Was wondering if anyone knew of a similar app for android.
What it basically does is allow you to enter you daily transactions. It then organizes them automatically with its great budget and forecast features. It also backs up automatically to dropbox
Here's a link of that app:

Thanks in advance.

I used this one a while ago, it sounds like this would meet your requirements:
My Money by N.AMRI
Without any doubt the one I use on all of my devices is EasyMoney.
Works well on both phones and tablets.
There are a number of reasons I prefer this over any of the others but one feature in particular is the 'Bill Reminder' at the foot of the main page which takes you to a date formed 'Upcoming Bills'.
This shows all future bills for the next 3 months.
You can get a 30 day trial here.
I use expense manager.

Uh, how about Mint? The most popular bank account program for Android.

Mint is okay unless you bank with US Bank or, presumably, any bank that asks security questions periodically as well as remembers the "computer" accessing the account. Mint and US Banks can't seem to get this **** figured out, so therefore Mint is useless with those accounts.
It also categorized credit card transactions very wrong. My Apple Valley Liquor Store purchases (yeah, I like a beer once in a while) it categorized them as "technology purchases" or whatever...I freaked thinking my iTunes account was hacked since it looked like "Apple" to Mint and it truncated the rest of the business name. So, it isn't perfect by any means. Pretty much any Apple Valley anything (in my case) gets marked wrong. It might not affect everyone though.

I use Mint to keep track of all my charge card purchases. It is great for that. Never wanted to hook it to a bank account.

Google Wallet currently has no known security exploits itself. The only way for your information to be stolen is if you have a rogue root app that does so with the permissions you grant it.
It's technically safer than a real wallet as your stuff is locked up with a PIN + Whatever security you have on your phone itself, where as your regular wallet is wide open to everyone to use online and in-stores for cheap no-ID-Purchases.

Google Wallet Tap and Pay

Not sure if anyone has noticed....but on 4.4 Wallet does not give any errors during set up. I am S-Off, Super CID on ARHD 40.3 and I am on TMOUS. Have not gotten an opportunity to test yet...
It's been discussed. It works on 4.4

Thanks,
so does that mean the Secure Element is out the window?

Google virtualized it, not sure if that means a physical implementation is going to go away entirely, but so far seems to be working.

Yeah Google has said that for android 4.4 and up every device with a NFC chip will work with tap and pay because it no longer needs to look for the secure element or something like that but yeah it works been using it for a while now love it.
Now for them to release it in other parts of the world and really put a push behind NFC payments.
Putting my flame-retardant clothes on, but if Apple were to 'invent' tap and pay with their next device, the whole world would move very quickly to get on the bandwagon. Google should have similar ambitions.

And then they'll sue Google for copyright infringement.

Play Store and Fingerprints

Before I purchase the phone, I just wanted to know if you could make purchases in the play store using your fingerprint? I know on the Nexus devices you can and I thought it was a feature that was being implemented in Marshmallow. Hopefully Samsung tapped into Google fingerprint API's finally. Anyone care to help me out here?

Yup.
If you use PayPal app the fingerprint thing seems broken.

I can live with that for the time being. It's probably an issue on PayPal's end. The Play Store, however, is the more important aspect of the fingerprint functionality for me.
I have not tried to buy anything yet. The setting is there.

Same here.
yes in the latest google play update you have the option to enable fingerprint for purchases
It is definitely a prob on PayPal's end. I have several Banking Apps with Fingerprint Login - works perfectly on the S7 Edge. As I read in other forums (i know, i know, THIS is the one and only forum! ), they had the same prob with the Galaxy S6 Edge+ . Sit and wait... for an update to come :-/
I made a purchase on the Play Store using fingerprint security on the S7. It worked flawlessly.

Samsung Pay, MST, and root

I got a new Edge about 2 weeks ago and Im conflicted about rooting vs SPay. Not having Ad Away made me realize how many damn ads there out there and how annoying they are, so I would really like to root. Unfortunately, that seems to block SPay from ever working. I like the idea of MST functionality rather than being limited to only NFC for payments.
Is there an alternative to SPay that uses MST?
why not just use block this?

I'll take a look at it. Thanks for the recommendation.
Also search XDA for NetGuard.
What about other apps that use MST? Are there any?

Haven't seen any. MST is a Samsung owned technology, and they may not have provided any APIs or documentation so developers can access it. And I understand why. Letting 3rd party apps have access to the credit card software would be a security nightmare. No bank would sign up for Samsung Pay if it were that open.
