ATLANTA, GA – Dec. 18, 2017 – Cardlytics, a purchase intelligence platform that makes marketing more relevant and measurable, has won Lloyds Banking Group’s ‘Build an Open Bank Challenge’ Hackathon.

The event tasked some of the biggest names in the finance and technology worlds with showing how bank partners can make the most of regulatory and commercial Open Banking APIs to support the needs of customers.

Cardlytics’ successful idea centered on the guiding principle that customers must see real value to ensure a meaningful data exchange in a world of Open Banking. The team developed a prototype that would use data to build a privacy-safe 360-degree view of customer spend, including spending habits, demographics, real-time location, and key life changes, so they don’t miss out on uniquely relevant and valuable offers.

The winning Cardlytics team comprised specialists from both its UK and US offices, bringing knowledge and understanding of delivering customer rewards in two of the world’s most competitive retail banking landscapes.

“We believe Open Banking presents a major opportunity for Cardlytics. As banks try to build loyalty among new and existing customers, they will need to help customers understand the value in sharing data by developing platforms that provide even more relevant and timely offers,” said Campbell Shaw, Head of Banking Relationships at Cardlytics. “Our history of running major reward programs in a privacy-focused way means we’re well positioned to help them do this.”

Lloyds’ ‘Build an Open Bank Challenge’ came as part of its Inspire Series. It enabled Lloyds Banking Group and partners to explore opportunities in light of the forthcoming Open Banking regulation.

Aneet Morar, Head of Digital Partnerships and Ecosystem Development at Lloyds Banking Group, added: “Next year banks have a golden opportunity. But as we seek to build a better understanding of our customers, transforming the way they engage with us, we need to make sure we put them first. Ultimately the Cardlytics team separated themselves by answering the question which will be posed by all customers: ‘what’s in it for me?’”

6 March 2018, LONDON – New data released today from Cardlytics (NASDAQ: CDLX), based on the spending insights of nearly 8 million bank customers, reveals that online spending with traditional high street retailers has grown 3% in the past year, outpacing the 1% growth in total spend across in-store and online.

Findings from Cardlytics’ Spend Index show that spending on online channels of established high street bookshops and pet stores rocketed in 2017, increasing by 24% and 30% respectively, compared to the previous year.

For bookshops, the online growth of 24% helped to cushion the decline of in-store performance, which saw a 1% decrease in total spend across all channels, when compared to 2016 figures. This pattern has continued into January this year when online book sales for established brands experienced growth of 66% against a 3% decline for in-store sales, compared to January 2017.

Among high street fashion retailers, combined in-store and online sales declined by 4% year-on-year in 2017. Although online sales outperformed in-store spend (3% growth vs 3% decline), the online growth rate slowed in 2017. In 2016, online had grown 7% year over year. However, in-store remains king for these brands, making up the majority (75%) of overall spend.

Sales at pure-play online fashion retailers grew 12% in 2017 compared to the previous year, a rate of growth which is four times that of traditional high street fashion retailers. The Cardlytics Spend Index also revealed that:

• Pure-play online fashion retailers made up the second strongest performing online-only category in 2017 after pet stores.
• Pure-play online department stores grew their sales by 3% compared to the year before and 17% since 2015.
• Sales at pure-play online electronics retailers grew by 5% year-on-year in 2017.

“The struggles of traditional high street retailers have been well-documented over the past year; however, our Spend Index shows that some well-established brands in specialist sectors are proving there’s an opportunity in the slowdown, successfully hedging the threat of Amazon,” said Peter Gleason, President of International Operations at Cardlytics. “The changes in the UK retail landscape, coupled with the continuous rise of online-only players, means that retailers will need to take a holistic look at their product offering, sales channels, store estate and marketing strategies to continue building loyalty among customers.”

Notes to editors
The figures are based on the spending data of more than 7.8 million active accounts of UK bank consumers. Spend was tracked on a weekly basis.

Figures from the quarterly Cardlytics Spending Index shed light on the status of eating out as a necessary luxury

London – 12 July 2017 – New data released today, based on the card and direct debit data of more than three million bank customers, reveals a slowdown in consumer spending. Overall spending in Q2 2017 was up by 3% year-on-year, down from the 9% growth seen this time last year.

Restaurants and quick-serve restaurants (QSR) continue to be the main drivers of spending with eating out now representing nearly a tenth (9%) of consumers’ share of wallet. This is a leap of two percentage points since the beginning of 2015, when Cardlytics started tracking spending. The findings are in line with recent data, which revealed that the contribution of the hospitality industry to the British economy has outpaced growth in every other sectors since the 2008 downturn.

There is a wider trend of consumers wanting to treat themselves during the leaner times. In addition to increases in restaurant spending, airline and hotel spend is up year-on-year (12% and 9% respectively). The leisure industry experienced a 6% increase in spending in Q2 compared to Q2 2016 and a 9.5% spike since the last quarter.

Additionally, the grocery sector has gained some momentum, with spending up 3% in Q2 compared to this time last year, and 6% up on the last quarter as the combination of hot weather and food inflation lift supermarket sales.

The findings come as part of the Cardlytics Spending Index compiled by Cardlytics, the purchase intelligence platform.

Pete Gleason, ‎President of International Operations at Cardlytics, said: “This data shows just how much the UK loves eating out. Even amid a squeeze on household finances, spending in restaurants and cafes continues to go from strength to strength.

“The increased demand is good for hospitality but with the sector set for further growth in the form of increased competition, brands will have to work even harder to stand out and attract new customers.

“But elsewhere, with consumers cutting back on spending it’s clear that brands will have to adjust to a new normal of low spending growth and focus on offering value.”

Notes to editors

The figures are based on the spending data of more than 3 million active accounts of UK bank consumers. Spend was tracked on a weekly basis.

The QSR sector comprises quick-service, or fast-food, restaurants, while the restaurant category includes non-fast-food dining establishments, ranging from casual dining to high-end.
