The payments industry will be temporarily increasing the contactless card PIN limit from $100 to $200 to help reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission by reducing physical contact with the payment terminal.
The new $200 limit will be progressively introduced across certain retailers starting in early April 2020.
The increase in the contactless limit is consistent with similar increases implemented or under consideration in other countries in response to COVID-19. Increasing the limit to $200 means that fewer people will need to touch the payment terminal when paying for purchases up to $200.
The new temporary limit is being rolled-out progressively and will be available at certain retailers. You can ask the retailer whether the new limit is available and will also know at the time of payment by the PIN pad prompts.
If the new limit has been introduced at the retailer, you will be prompted to tap your card for purchases up to $200, and NO PIN will be required. If the new limit is not available at a certain retailer, you will still be prompted to enter your PIN for purchases over $100.
At all times, follow the PIN pad prompts.
The new $200 limit is a temporary measure in response to COVID-19. It is expected the limit will remain in place for a period of time and may be extended if necessary, based on Government advice.

On 15 April 2020, the 3D Secure 2.0 security protocol will come into effect.
3D Secure 2.0 is an enhanced protocol (a set of rules), that improves on the previously utilised 3D Secure 1.0 (also known as Verified by Visa). This protocol provides additional protection for both merchants and debit card customers when payments and purchases are made online.
The prevention of online fraud is of the upmost priority to visa, its merchants, clients and providers. This protocol is used to authenticate cardholder transactions during online payment processing, similar to entering a PIN for an ATM or EFTPOS transaction.
The concept of the protocol is to tie the in-person financial authorisation process with an online authentication. This authentication is based on a three domain model (hence the 3D in the name). The three domains are: (1) Acquirer Domain - the merchant and the bank to which money is being paid, (2) Issuer Domain - the bank who issued the card being used (3) Interoperability Domain - the infrastructure provided by the debit or credit card scheme to support the 3D Secure protocol.
A transaction using 3D Secure 2.0 will initiate a redirect to the website of the card issuing bank to authorize the transaction. A password-based authorisation is then required. This means that for some online purchases, our clients will receive a unique code / password to their registered mobile phone, which is then required to be entered into the Merchant website to authenticate the transaction.
You will be redirected to a Visa / Rabobank transaction authorisation screen, where you will be required to enter the code that would have been sent to your registered mobile device.
Please call Rabobank Monday - Friday 6am - 8pm (Sydney time) on 1800 025 484. We will make sure your mobile number gets registered so that you are advised on your next online debit card purchase.
