Shoppers will be able to spend up to £30 when they pay using their contactless card as spending via the technology tripled to £2.32bn in 2014. The limit per transaction is to be increased from £20 from September, the UK Cards Association has announced. It means shoppers will be able to spend more on smaller-priced goods and at a faster rate due to not having to insert a debit or credit card and enter their pin. The move follows an upsurge in spending boosted by TfL’s decision to accept contactless payments.
