I’m travelling to Hungary this April, and I was wondering if anybody knows how a UK Monzo card will behave when you try to make a contactless&PIN payment over £30. I’ve noticed that a lot of card terminals seem to be contactless-only, with no slot to take a chip&PIN payment. Does the UK hard £30 limit still apply when I’m in Hungary?
I’m also wondering whether Google Pay will work, given that it’s not supported by any Hungarian banks.
Someone mentioned this above 
Note that the spending limits are different from the UK: for any amount you can just touch, but for amounts above 5000HUF (about 14 quid) will have to enter your PIN.
I saw that, and I know that’s how Hungarian cards work. What I’m asking is, will this work with a UK card? Normally you can’t use UK cards at all for contactless transactions over £30.
I’ve had problems using a UK card like this before, so I’d like to know if anybody has personal experience with transactions using contactless&PIN for values over £30 using a UK card.
Does anybody know if banks charge a fee for withdrawing cash ? Thanks in advance.
None that I have used did, and I have visited extensively. Cards are widely accepted in most establishments.
My tip. Buy a travel card 1,2,3,7 day at Bkv in airport terminal (small kiosk behind Budapest card at airport arrivals) contactless works here £13.75 7 day pass for all public transport including 200e airport bus to 1st stop Metro3.metro,tram,bus, trolley bus urban trains,boat taxi,and night bus.
Could someone confirm that Google pay is accepted in Budapest?
Thanks for your reply. What is the transaction limit for an iphone.
