There were about $3.25 billion of electronic transactions across Paymark's network in February, down 2.2% from a year earlier. The volume of transactions gained 1.1% from February 2008, when the month included an extra day for leap year.
Spending on food climbed 6.6% in value term and 6.9% in volume, suggesting consumers are choosing to buy their food from the supermarket and eat at home, rather than dine out. Adjusting for leap year, the value of transaction rose 1.9% in the latest month, it said.
Spending in Auckland and Northland fell 2.6% to $1.26 billion, spending in Wellington dropped 1% to $337 million and the value of transactions in Canterbury declined 1.7% to $399.7 million. Spending fell 2.8% to $228 million in Waikato and 3.2% to $205.7 million in the Bay of Plenty.
