As the holiday shopping season approaches, Black Friday remains a pivotal event for online retailers in the UK. This annual shopping extravaganza not only marks the beginning of the festive shopping season but also serves as a litmus test for the e-commerce landscape. With a staggering £9 billion spent during Black Friday 2023 alone, it’s evident that the stakes are high for businesses looking to maximise their sales during this critical period.

By leveraging a range of acquirers, you can maximise new capabilities and ensure continuity.
Fraud has a significant impact on the travel industry, affecting both businesses and travellers alike. For businesses, fraud can result in financial losses, damage to reputation, and increased operational costs to prevent future occurrences. Travellers may experience identity theft, unauthorised charges, or even booking scams, leading to frustration and distrust in the industry. It is crucial for travel businesses to implement robust security measures and for travellers to stay vigilant and verify the legitimacy of their bookings to combat fraud effectively.
