Mark Nalder, Service, Operations & Performance Director at Nationwide said: “We predicted that Black Friday would be a record day for spending at more than 12 million transactions, which is a 10% increase compared to the previous year. So far this morning, our customers have made over 2.5 million transactions, which means we’re already seeing a busy day ahead for retailers.
"Consumers are more alert than ever about potential scams or deals that look too good to be true. It helps to opt for reputable retailers and brands that you trust, check the price history of any items to ensure that you’re paying the best price and read verified customer reviews to avoid being disappointed with a purchase. Try and stick to a budget or the wishlist of items you had in mind, to avoid impulse purchases or overspending.”
