It is important to note that this is the activity with credit cards only in purchases by Israelis in Israel and on Israeli trade sites.

Data from the Automatic Banking Services Company ("ISA"), which operates the national payment card system in Israel, shows that the high activity in making transactions reached a record high, when the amount of credit card expenses in Israel on the day of the specials reached NIS 1.125 billion this year. This increase, online purchases accounted for about 45% and amounted to a cumulative amount of NIS 505.1 million, an increase of 16.3% compared to last year.

An increase of 340% for purchases in the tourism industry

Most of the increase this year in credit card expenses was recorded in transactions at the businesses themselves. This is an increase of more than NIS 113 million in the amount of expenses in credit transactions upon presentation of a card, which jumped by 22.3% compared to last year, when expenses in physical transactions amounted to NIS 506.96 million.

In some industries, activity was higher on Friday compared to last year:

- the jump in purchases reached 24.7% and expenses reached NIS 19.84 million.

- sales increased by 17.9% and reached the amount of NIS 143.29 million.

- there was a 13.8% increase in credit card expenses, which amounted to NIS 98.95 million.

- The industry in which the most significant increase was recorded was tourism, hotels and aviation, in which expenses grew by more than 340% and amounted to NIS 35.28 million.

It is important to note that last year, on the day of the promotions, airlines were still in limited activity and hotels in Israel were closed to the public as part of restrictions on the economy due to the spread of the corona virus.

It can also be said that the new restrictions announced by the Cabinet last night (Saturday) on leaving Israel and returning to it after a stay abroad, did not affect purchases in the field of tourism as they were published after the sale as part of the Black Friday.
