无接触支付即将迎来重大变革:三月起不再有100英镑限额

金融行为监管局(FCA)已确认,银行和卡提供商将有权设定单次无接触卡支付的最高或无限金额,无需输入四位数PIN,从三月开始。这一变化将允许卡持有者设置自己的个人限额或完全关闭无接触支付。

根据FCA的规定,银行和卡提供商将有灵活性立即修改当前的100英镑限额,但预计他们不会立即这样做。FCA鼓励卡提供商允许卡持有者设置自己的限额,或完全关闭无接触支付。一些银行已经提供此功能。

取消100英镑无接触卡限额的决定得到了消费者和行业人士的混合反应。FCA进行的一项调查显示,人们对修改当前限额的兴趣不大。然而,监管机构正在推动这一变化,援引无接触支付中需要更大的灵活性的理由。

当无接触卡支付首次推出时,交易限额设定为10英镑。限额逐渐提高到2010年的15英镑,2012年的20英镑,2015年的30英镑。新冠疫情促使限额在2020年大幅增加到100英镑。

FCA鼓励卡提供商为卡持有者提供设置自己的限额或完全关闭无接触支付的选项。这一举动被视为朝着无接触支付中更大的灵活性和便利性迈出的一步。然而,一些专家对取消限额的潜在风险表示担忧,包括欺诈风险的增加。

卡提供商将有权从三月开始设定自己的限额,或为卡持有者提供设置自己的限额的选项。FCA敦促卡提供商利用这一灵活性,为卡持有者提供对无接触支付的更多控制权。随着行业推进这一变化,尚待观察的是卡提供商将如何实施新规则以及它们将如何影响消费者。

FCA取消100英镑无接触卡限额的决定被视为无接触支付领域的一项重大发展。随着行业的不断发展,我们可能会看到无接触支付方式中进一步的变化和创新。
