Leading CEO Adds Weight to Government Coronavirus Impact Data

The Paymentology technology tracks where consumers are using their cards and for what purpose.
 

“The tracking that we have been doing over the past six weeks absolutely aligns to the Government’s data release today. Just in the last two weeks the lockdown has seen online use of cards increase by 60%, whilst non online use has dropped by 17%,” says Shane O’Hara.

But he forecasts that the trend may not just be temporary either. “There has been a steady upward trend of online use since the start of the year. It is quite likely that the spike we have seen in the past two weeks will continue whilst the lockdown remains, and then settle at a new high,” he says, “ Experience tells us that once a consumer starts online shopping, they generally continue doing so.”
