What are the contactless payment limits?

Updated

Contactless transaction limits help keep your card payments secure. This applies to tap-and-go with your physical card. Payments made via Apple Wallet or Google Pay are not affected

Card type Transaction Limit for one purchase
Virtual card €5000 / £4500 / $5500
Physical card €500 / £400 / $500

 

Why are the limits for Apple Wallet or Google Pay different? 

When using a card via Apple Wallet or Google Pay, your payments are always secured with biometrics, making them safe.

However, contactless payments with your physical card itself don’t have extra security checks like biometrics. This means we can't protect you from large purchases if your card is lost or stolen. For transactions over the limit, please use Chip & Pin instead.
