Contactless limit increases to £100 for UK customers

Whether you’re grabbing food to go, rushing through a busy commute or just shopping in a hurry, contactless payments have made our lives a lot easier.

But for the fast moving, get-up-and-go, modern spender, even the £45 limit often just isn’t enough.

Well we’ve got some exciting news. We’re more than doubling the contactless limit for UK customers to £100. Plus, the total amount you can spend before you need to enter your PIN or reset your limit in-app has done the same, leaping from £130 to £300.

It’s all about convenience

Contactless payments are all about making it less of a hassle for you when you’re using your card out and about. These changes take the limit from £45 and mean you can spend over twice as much money in one contactless transaction as before.

The cumulative limit for contactless payments has also risen to £300, which means you don’t have to enter your PIN or reset your contactless limit as often.
