If you’re using the physical card, the individual limit might be €50 but there is still a cumulative limit, when you hit that you need to use your pin.

Adding to this, the app would’ve told you why it declined.

Limit of contactless payments you can make before chip and pin . Not used chip and pin yet

Was there €14 or more in the :monzo: account from which you tried to pay via contactless?

(I’ve made the same mistake in the past, later discovering my Google Wallet default payment card/account was set to my Monzo Personal account by mistake - which usually has no money in it, when it should have been set to our Joint account - which is the spending account)

This is the reason. You must do at least one chip and PIN transaction to activate contactless
