Maybank has announced a new contactless transaction limit for Google Pay.<\/p>\n

Effective Jan 27, the company said cardholders no longer have to key in their card PIN (personal identification number) for purchases above RM250.<\/p>\n

“However, a maximum limit of RM2,500 per transaction will now apply. For transactions exceeding this amount, you will be required to use your physical card,” it added in an announcement<\/a> on its website today (Jan 5).<\/p>\n

For debit card holders, each Google Pay contactless transaction is capped at RM2,500.\u00a0Transactions exceeding the daily purchase limit set by the cardholder will be declined.<\/p>\n

For added security, cardholders may choose to set their Google Pay transaction limit to below RM2,500 by adjusting their debit card purchase limit on the M2U platform.<\/p>\n

Credit card users can continue to perform multiple Google Pay contactless transactions up to their card\u2019s available limit, as long as each transaction does not exceed RM2,500.<\/p>\n

Maybank introduced<\/a> Google Pay support to users in Malaysia in May 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The feature lets users link Visa or Mastercard cards to their Google Wallet app on Android devices, enabling contactless payments directly through their device.<\/p>\n
