Google Pay ARL Limits

In response to a recent mandate from Interac to increase card transaction limits, we are thrilled to announce an adjustment to the Authentication Required Limit (ARL) for your Google Pay mobile wallet to align more closely to the your physical card experience.

On January 18, 2024 the ARL for Google Pay will be increased from $100 to $250! This means that for purchases up to $250, you no longer need to unlock your Android phone. It's a seamless and more convenient way to make quick and secure transactions using Google Pay.

However, for purchases exceeding $250, an additional layer of security is still maintained. In these cases, unlocking your device will be required to ensure the highest level of protection for your transactions.
