Is the cap for apple still at 100 or its removed?

Apple pay has no limit if use at apple store to purchase products. Informed of this by Apple store staff when changing battery last weekend. All others should still have $100 cap

We are freaking useless

our govt usually take the wait and see approach, slowly do things...look at how convenient it is when using Sucia with Apple Pay for transport, simply tap and go, no need to even unlock (there is a setting to allow security if the user want)

I give up on Citibank Singapore already, inequality of treatment compare to USA customers, global brand but lack behind when come to support iOS users, missing out one huge pie locally. You don't support, i use other bank cards.

Actually, the limit (if any) is set on the merchant's terminal.

If i'm not wrong, its apple store online, where you use your apple devices for apple pay purchases. I made my iPhone purchase using mac and authenticated with apple pay. Has anyone tried to pay physically at apple store orchard with >100 dollars purchase?

for physical store purchase, the 100 dollars limit should still apply according to MAS policy on contactless payment. Samsung pay is excluded in this due to MST technology. Of cos, with contactless tap, it still apply..

Maybe the retailers have applied for limit removal through contactless and such, not too sure too.

According to UOB released statement, contactless purchases made through UOB Mighty app / Apple Pay have limits removed from some of the terminals. This suggests a software update to their terminals, which would progressively change over time to include all the terminals. The statement also mentioned that the limit is only lifted through their UOB terminals, while did not specify if OCBC/Citibank/Amex terminals are included as well.

However even with these exclusions, UOB included a small footnote that the current limit for paywave/paypass/amex are still capped at $100 by default, unless excluded from the limit above.

https://www.uobgroup.com/assets/pdfs/new-release/NR_UOB_lift_transaction.pdf

Nevertheless, 100 limit or no payment limit, just ask lor.

Later i go try apple store for >100 dollars purchase, see can make it or break it.

In the Apple Store, you can make payments above 100$ with Apple Pay.

With regards to the UOB $100 terminal thing, it’s not some. It’s all of their UOB terminals. (which is a quite rare Pokémon in the wild).

it depends on which bank's terminal. so far mostly are UOB readers with updated firmware. sometimes even the cashier didn't know. u have to try.
for apple/samsung/google/android pay >100, mostly no signature required.
for paywave/paypass >100, need signature.
