Shoppers spent a little more than $3 million in the Bay of Plenty this year, according to the latest Paymark figures. The annual spend was 3.6 per cent more than the $2.9m spent in the region last year.
Retailers using the Paymark network know that 2020 was a tough year for many but by December, for a number at least, the year ended on a high note.
The June quarter, which included alert level 4 nationwide lockdown, saw payments through Paymark via an underlying set of Core Retail merchants drop 15.5 per cent from a year earlier in dollar terms.
