Bank of Ireland recorded high levels of Visa debit card transactions, with spending levels spiking across the counties. Dublin recorded an overall increase of over 5%, while Mayo witnessed monthly spending figures rising by 2.1%, spending in Cork was up 4.5% and Donegal led the way in Ulster with a rise of nearly 3%.
June’s total debit and credit card total spending analysis also revealed more rises across the age cohorts in keeping with the loosening of certain lockdown restrictions. Perhaps not surprisingly the 56-65 year olds led the way overall (+5%), followed by 46-55 year olds (4.5%) but then followed by the youngest group (18-25) who produced a spending rise of 4% for the month in shaking off some lockdown rust.
