Can I place any limits and restrictions on payments?Updated 6 months ago
Payment limits and restrictions for your HyperRing are primarily determined by your card issuer (bank) rather than by HyperRing directly. Here's what you need to know:
Standard Limits
1. Contactless Transaction Limits:
- Most banks set limits on individual contactless transactions (typically between €25-€50 in Europe, or similar amounts in local currency)
- Transactions above this limit usually require PIN verification at the terminal
- These limits are the same as those applied to contactless card payments
2. Cumulative Transaction Limits:
- Banks may impose limits on the total value of consecutive contactless transactions
- After reaching this limit, you might need to perform a chip & PIN transaction to reset it
- This security feature is standard across contactless payment methods
Accessing and Modifying Limits
- These limits are set by your bank and typically cannot be adjusted through Fidesmo
- To view or modify your limits:
1. Contact your card issuer directly
2. Check your bank's mobile app or online banking portal
3. Refer to your card terms and conditions
Additional Bank-Specific Controls
Some banks offer additional control features through their own apps or online banking:
- Temporarily blocking contactless payments
- Setting daily spending limits
- Restricting transactions by merchant category
- Geographic restrictions (limiting use to specific countries)
If your bank offers these features, they will typically apply to your wearable payments just as they do to your physical card.
