Lloyds gives users control over contactless limits amid fraud fears
Peter Tobin

Peter Tobin

  @Vivek I do understand what you are saying of course but it is very complex to send scripts to cards and to ensure scripts have been delivered and actioned.  Much easier to put the card control on the backend, decline the transaction and send the cardholder an immediate push notification as to why that happened.  It is common to the way that all consumer card controls are being implemented.

Peter Tobin

  I assume the limit you are referring to is the Offline Transaction Limit in the chip.  This is still there but is being overriden by the terminal which has an Offline Transaction Limit of zero and is going online for authorisation.  The card limit only comes into play when the terminal cannot go online (such as in certain transportation scenarios).
