UPDATE 1-Britain to raise contactless payment limit to 100 stg on Oct. 15

Fri, 27th Aug 2021 10:36

(Adds more detail)

LONDON, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Banks will start rolling out the
new 100 pound ($137) spending limit for contactless payments
from Oct. 15, Britain's banking industry body UK Finance said on
Friday.

Contactless payments surged during the pandemic, with some
shops refusing to take cash to help prevent the spread of
COVID-19.

"Given the number of terminals which will need to be updated
to accept the new limit, it will take some time to be introduced
across all retailers," UK Finance said in a statement.

Contactless payments accounted for 49% of all credit card
and 65% of all debit card transactions in May, UK Finance said.

Transactions in May were double the same month in 2020.

The limit on payments had already been increased to 45
pounds from 30 pounds in April 2020, a month after the first
national lockdown in Britain was introduced.

The decision to raise the limit was made by the finance
ministry and the Financial Conduct Authority.

"Increasing the contactless limit will make it easier than
ever to pay safely and securely - whether that’s at the local
shops, or your favourite pub and restaurant," finance minister
Rishi Sunak said.

The threshold for multiple contactless transactions before a
customer is required to enter their PIN number will also rise
from 130 pounds to 300 pounds.
