Quick Summary
The contactless payment limit is set to change from March 2026, with banks and card providers given more flexibility.
They will be able to set their own maximum limit, or choose unlimited, though it's possible that won't happen immediately.
There was a time when we all had to remember our four-digit PIN for every card we wanted to pay with. Those days are long gone now, however, with contactless payments having been around since 2007 and systems like Apple Pay since 2014.
