- Turkey raised the PIN-free contactless payment limit from 1,500 TL to 2,500 TL as of January 15, 2026.
- The increase addresses inflation, higher everyday expenses, and the rise in digital payment usage.
- Payments above 2,500 TL still require PIN or biometric verification for security.
- Contactless payments remain secure through encryption, dynamic security, and optional user controls.
- Users can disable contactless payments or set lower limits via their bank.
