Visa and Mastercard are increasing the contactless payment limit in Canada by 150%, from C$100 (US$70) to C$250 (US$176).
“Once implemented by partners, this means that cardholders will be able to purchase more of what they need with the security, speed and touch-free experience of contactless payments at more merchants across Canada.”
“Visa has not yet announced when its increase will become effective but confirmed it is currently working with industry partners,” The Globe and Mail reports.
