Do I have a daily limit for contactless payments?

There isn't a daily limit for contactless payments. However, from time to time, when you shop using contactless payments, you'll need to put your card into the machine and enter your PIN to verify it's you, before you can use contactless again. This is part of a new EU regulation to help prevent fraud.

To get up and running with contactless, you'll need to pay with your PIN the first time you use your new card in a shop, just so we know it's you. There's a limit of £100 per payment, and you'll need to have enough money in your account to cover the cost of your purchase. Find out more about contactless payments.
