Move, to be announced by Rishi Sunak in the budget, may not be rolled out until later this year
The limit on contactless spending in the UK is set to rise to £100, although the change may not be rolled out to shops until later in the year.
The limit on tap-and-go card spending was increased to £45 last year as retailers sought ways to cut the need for physical contact in shops amid the Covid pandemic, and in January plans were announced to more than double it.
