SpendTrend® Special Report

Executive Summary

The easing of U.S. lockdown measures, a broad “opening up”

of the economy, and consumers increasingly getting out and

about, drove a sharp rebound in spending trends across many

sectors from April through June. In recent weeks, however,

we’ve seen some flattening of spending momentum.

Our proprietary SpendTrend analysis shows that the YoY decline in

consumer spending improved from -12.3% in July, to -10.2% through the

first five days of August, as we move further into the spending rebound

that began in the second half of April. Sectors that remain in positive

growth territory include Building Materials, Electronics and Furniture.

Sectors demonstrating relatively level spending trends include Dining,

Grocery, and Gas Stations. Sectors seeing declining growth momentum,

albeit after very strong rebounds, include Clothing and Luxury. While

growth trends in Entertainment and Travel are currently stable, they

remain at very depressed levels.

Within payment types, recent trends in behavioral changes have shown

notable movements in the past several months. From a cash usage

standpoint, ATM transaction activity continues its gradual rebound. At the

same time, the share of cash usage at the point of sale has declined

over 870 basis points since January and has seen ebbs and flows since

May. Conversely, the use of mobile wallets for in-app and e-commerce

purchases saw a sharp increase from March to May, and – while we saw

trends level off for June and the first part of July – we’ve seen another

upturn in recent weeks, as various lockdowns get reinstated.

As we indicated previously, the broader coronavirus narrative appears to

be impacting consumer spending patterns. Of note, we suspect that the

ample headlines on spiking coronavirus case growth may be driving a

leveling off of consumer mobility and slowing of reopening plans, which,

in turn, could be having a secondary impact on consumer spending

velocity. That said, more recent declining levels of U.S. case growth and

hospitalizations, and seemingly improving mortality rates, may bode well

for consumer confidence and spending going forward.

short-lived spike for the

Fourth of July holiday. This

flattening may be due to

Every dining subcategory has

substantially improved since the

early days of the pandemic. In

June, several categories

benefited from indoor dining

reopening, but dipped again in

July as restrictions were

reinstated. Since then, those

categories have resumed their

steady upward climb.

Electronics and Appliances YoY Transaction Growth (7-day moving average)

Electronics remain elevated

after seeing a second breakout

in late June. This puts the

sector’s momentum above

levels seen over the previous

two months as the effects of

stimulus / savings linger, and

demand drivers shift from work-

from-home to school-from-

Gas Stations

Recent demand trends for

gas have leveled off in recent

weeks, likely due to

flattening mobility trends and

the fact that consumers are

taking fewer short / regular

trips (e.g. work, school, etc.)

due to lingering restrictions

in place.

Clothing

YoY Transaction Growth (7-day moving average)

After a deep swoon into

March, Clothing saw a sharp

three-month rebound in

demand, possibly due to

consumers “freshening up”

With that behind us, the

sector’s momentum has

cooled off slightly in the last

several weeks.-80%

Spending by Type

While Nondiscretionary spend

(as a percent of total) peaked

in the second half of March as

consumers focused on the

essentials, Discretionary spend

has come back as stores open

up. Meanwhile, Services

remain depressed as some

tend to be driven more by

“high-contact” activity.

SpendTrend® Special Report

Same Store figures include activity (amount of USD sales volumes or transactions) for merchant locations that

are open and have activity in both comparison time periods. They are not reflective of overall Fiserv activity.

Same Store Dollar Volume growth reflects the percent change in the USD amount of same store sales (net of

returns) in the current period compared to the same period in the prior year. Same Store Transaction growth

reflects the percent change in the number of same store transactions (net of returns) in the current period

compared to the same period in the prior year.

Same Store Average Ticket is derived by dividing the total USD amount of Same Store Sales for a specified

period by the total number of Same Store Transactions for that same period.

Same Store Sales Data includes sample data which we believe generally reflects current trends but does not

include all data available to Fiserv and specifically excludes Salem platform, Bank of America proprietary

platform, and Bank of America TSYS platform activity.

All data contains Credit, Debit and EBT transactions.

All charts show year-over-year (YoY) growth rates for same time period in previous year. Growth rates are not

seasonally adjusted.

Cash Usage at the Point of Sale includes transactions conducted at Clover Point of Sale terminals.

Mobile Wallet (in-app/e-commerce) includes transactions performed through mobile wallets such as Masterpass,

Visa Checkout, Walmart Pay, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay, but excludes face-to-face contactless

near field communications (NFC) transactions conducted via methods such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay or

Google Pay.

P2P is person-to-person cash transfer services initiated with bank accounts at select financial institutions.

How to Read SpendTrend

All growth rates compare current performance to that of the same period prior year. We believe year-over-year

growth better reflects organic spending patterns. 7-day moving averages reflect the mean of the prior seven (7)

days.

We do not adjust for seasonality. We believe that seasonality adjustments are best made by the users of our

reports.

Our analysis is based on normalized POS activity from Fiserv’s proprietary systems. Our data includes only

card-based payments and checks where appropriate. Key differences between SpendTrend and other available

reports:

Government and network association reports are often based on surveys and estimates rather than actual POS

activity.

Government and network association reports often make sequential growth comparisons (i.e. April 2020 vs.

March 2020 instead of April 2020 vs. April 2019).

Government and network association reports make adjustments for assumptions and seasonality.
