In my new role, I'll be shaping the future of payment acceptance and innovation to support the diversity of payment experiences.

The results of our first SME Barometer are in and they make for encouraging reading. We asked more than 550 UK SMEs how they're feeling about being a #smallbusiness in the UK, how their business is performing and the future. See the results, here: https://t.co/3v5G80ZZuL

Contactless card payments, smartphone wallet payments, app #payments…life isn’t just about #cash any more. So, what’s the logical progression from the #contactless revolution? Here's my view: https://t.co/7zUHnHrxTf

With many factors affecting sales numbers on #BlackFriday predicting how #retailers will fare can be tricky. Because @BcardBusiness processes 1 in 3 transactions in the UK, we’ve analysed our live spend data to help us see what’s happening. https://t.co/1vMLTsGcnJ

After a strong #BlackFriday, there's more good news for #retailers heading into the #festiveseason. Our #CyberMonday2019 figures showed consumers bought more and spent more this year. #payments #SME #business

[Rob Cameron @cameron_rob]

Between 1pm and 2pm, we recorded 1,184 transactions per second, a #BlackFriday record. That's a 9% increase on 2018’s record. The fact that records are being broken suggests the appetite for Black Friday sales is not abating and demand for sales is continuing to rise. #payments

[Rob Cameron @cameron_rob]

It’s been a really positive start to #BlackFriday for UK #retail. Let’s keep an eye on things via our live spend data and see how the rest of the day goes. #payments

[Rob Cameron @cameron_rob]

It’s my second #BlackFriday @BcardBusiness and the perfect opportunity to look at how things are shaping up compared to 2018. I’ll be sharing our live spend data and insights into consumer activity throughout tomorrow. #payments

I caught up with customer @joemoruzzi1234 owner of @pleesecakesuk at Barclaycard presents #BSTHydePark. He told me his story of launching & scaling his #smallbusiness at speed through social media & even got me 'grafting' behind the counter. Sneak peek of what we got up to...

[Rob Cameron @cameron_rob]

It's been a really busy #BlackFriday2018 at @BcardBusiness with our systems hitting 1,087 transactions per second at 1.14pm this afternoon. This is our all-time record and we still expect higher peaks in the days leading up to Christmas. #BarclaycardBlackFriday

[Rob Cameron @cameron_rob]

There'll be winners and losers this week. I've noticed many large retailers who don't promote #BlackFriday and frankly they're missing out on one of the biggest retail opportunities of the year. #BarclaycardBlackFriday

[Rob Cameron @cameron_rob]

@MasonsHopperton @BcardBusiness Sorry to hear this. I'll ensure our customer service team contact you tomorrow to discuss. Thanks, Rob.

[Rob Cameron @cameron_rob]

Super excited about my first #BlackFriday with @BcardBusiness and the valuable insights we get from our spend data. It's looking like 2018 is going to break records as the busiest year yet! Stay tuned this week for more insights and tips from me. #Payments #BarclaycardBlackFriday
