I agree £20 is too high a tenner would be better.


The only reason for a limit is the situation where the card
gets stolen or lost and it takes some time to notice that
it has been stolen or lost and to get the card blocked.

There isn't a significant difference between
£10 and say £50 in that regard.


I thought there was a limit on the number of contactless transactions
per day as well but the 'web doesn't suppport that idea at all.

Also looks like the transaction limit will be going up in September
to £30. The hook being used being the average supermarket bill being
£25, cor I wish, ours is £50 ish/week, plus about another £15.
