08:00
According to NBP data, at the end of September 2018, there were 33.5 million payment cards in Poland which had a contactless function.
The limit for contactless payments that do not require a PIN was introduced in 2007, when contactless cards were just entering the market. The Polish limit is one of the lowest in Europe.
VISA has received permission to raise the limit of contactless transactions without a PIN from PLN 50 to PLN 100. Earlier, MasterCard received similar consent from the National Bank of Poland (NPB). It is not yet known when the limit will be raised.
