Daily limit (meal vouchers): 5x the face value
- Each cardholder has a daily limit based on the face value of their card
- Example: €8 card = €40/day limit (5 x €8)
- ⚠️ Important: This rule comes from Luxembourg legislation, not from Edenred
- If the payment is declined, the customer may have reached their daily limit
Contactless payment: maximum €50
- For amounts over €50, ask the customer to insert the card and enter their PIN code (if they have one)
- This is a European banking security standard
Sufficient balance required
- The card balance must cover the full amount
- Automatic partial payment is not possible
- The customer should check their balance in the MyEdenred app
- Solution: offer to split the transaction into 2 payments (Edenred card + another payment method)
✅ Best practices
If a payment is declined:
- Check the amount (is it over €50 for a contactless payment?)
- Ask the customer to check their balance in the Edenred app
- Suggest a split payment if the balance is insufficient
- Transaction 1: Amount available on the Edenred card
- Transaction 2: Remaining balance with a bank card or cash
- Remind them that the daily limit resets at midnight
