They cannot use the entire card limit. In addition to the special controls for contactless cards, contactless-enabled cards have limited payment amounts.
What should you do if a transaction is made on your card without your knowledge?
Regardless of whether your card is contact or contactless, if you come across a suspicious transaction made with your card, stop using your card and immediately report the suspicious situation to the bank/institution that issued your card.
Security layers in case of loss or theft
For transactions without a PIN, there is both a single-transaction limit and a consecutive-transaction limit. If the limit is exceeded, the card asks for a PIN, which prevents the person who found the card from spending without limit.
If the card is lost, the fastest solution is to block it through the bank's mobile app or call center. The cardholder is not held responsible for transactions made after the notification; for transactions before the notification, the provisions of the law and the contract apply.
Some banks also allow you to turn off the no-PIN transaction feature on your card.
