Yes, you can spend more than $100 on Apple Pay, as there is no universal, Apple-imposed cap on transaction amounts. While some merchants or banks may limit contactless payments (often around $100–$250 in Canada), you can frequently make larger purchases by using biometric authentication (Face ID/Touch ID) to verify identity.
Fast, easy and secure
So you can pay in an easy, secure, and private way. And you can say goodbye to the £100 contactless limit with Apple Pay. You can purchase over the contactless limit in many stores, so you can use Apple Pay for purchases, big or small.
For POS terminals in stores, the transaction limit is $250 per debit and credit purchase. In app transactions (available only using a TD Canada Trust Credit Card) have NO spend limit beyond that imposed by the vendor or your available credit on the TD Canada Trust Credit Card at the time of purchase.
Yes, you can send $1,000 using Apple Pay (specifically Apple Cash), as the per-message limit is up to $10,000 and the weekly limit is also $10,000, but you need sufficient funds in your Apple Cash balance or linked debit card and be aware that bank/card issuer limits might apply. You send it through the Wallet app or Messages by tapping the Apple Cash icon and entering the amount, confirming with Face ID/Touch ID.
Some merchants may impose their own limits on contactless payments—often around $100—but many will allow larger purchases if you tap multiple times or use an alternative payment method at checkout. Interestingly, there are no universal caps set by Apple itself for transactions made through its platform.
While contactless cards currently have a £100 payment limit, anyone using their smartphone to pay can spend any amount without the need for a PIN.
Yes, you can send $2,000 on Apple Pay, as the per-message limit for sending money (Tap to Cash/Apple Cash) is often $2,000 within a 7-day rolling period, but it can be higher, up to $10,000 per transaction, depending on if you're using your balance or linked debit card, with higher weekly limits for transfers to your own bank. However, remember you might hit limits from your bank or card issuer, and Apple Cash Family limits are $2,000 per week.
No, Apple Pay and Apple Wallet aren't the same, but they work together: Apple Wallet is the app (your digital container) that stores your credit/debit cards, loyalty cards, tickets, and passes, while Apple Pay is the technology/service that uses those cards in the Wallet to make secure, contactless payments in stores, online, and in apps. Think of the Wallet as your physical purse and Pay as the tap-to-pay function.
