 To make contactless payments even more convenient, Interac Flash tap limits have increased.  As a PenFi Member you can now use your debit card to make purchases of up to $250 per tap transaction to a cumulative amount of $400 without needing to re-enter your PIN.  To activate this change, you simply need to complete three consecutive chip transactions.   There is no time limit on completing these transactions, however they must be consecutive and not include any tap transactions in between. These can be made at an ATM or at point of sale.
