If you’re wondering why your team’s Slack statuses went quiet at 4 PM on Wednesday... the data doesn’t lie. 👀 Our latest data wrap-up shows the nation collectively clocked off early for the England game, causing a massive 187.7% spike in hospitality spend before the clock even hit 5 PM. The biggest surprise? London commuters completely abandoned the trains home to pack out pubs near the office instead, driving a 78.4% spend uplift in the capital that easily cleared the previous midweek fixture. Check out the full breakdown below. 👇

Every neighbourhood has its hidden gems. 💎 This time, we caught up with Adam Gaskell, one of our Payments Consultants, to hear why Parsons Green is such a special place to work and support local businesses. From favourite local spots like Aragon House to helping businesses such as Pizza Pilgrims thrive, it's a great reminder that behind every payment solution is a real relationship with a local business owner. Watch the video to discover why Parsons Green feels more like a village than a London postcode. 👇

The football effect is real and the hospitality sector is drinking it in. ⚽️ We took a look at the data from the group stages, and the verdict is clear: tournament football is officially anchoring the evening economy. While summer weather played its part, England matchdays alone drove over half of the entire fortnightly spend growth across UK pubs and bars. Saturday's game against Panama pushed things even further, unleashing a consumer mobilising effect, particularly across northern cities, which completely blew past national averages. Swipe through to see the group stage wrap-up, and how to keep your venue ready for the knockouts. 👇
