UK contactless card limit more than doubles to £100
Experts warn about fraud and possible problems for people who struggle to control spending
• UK contactless payments limit is rising – should you be worried?
People in the UK using contactless cards can now spend up to £100 a time after the limit on payments more than doubled on Friday.
At the start of the pandemic the cap was increased to £45 to reduce the need for customers to handle cards and cash because of concerns about the virus being transmitted via surfaces.
