Changing your debit card contactless payment limit

We automatically set your contactless limit at £100. You can change this to any amount between £5 and £100, or turn contactless payments off.

Your contactless limit doesn’t affect Chip and PIN payments, or payments made by Apple Pay or Contactless Mobile.
