It's Cyber Monday

Finger tips at the ready today is Cyber Monday.

Online retailers are preparing for their busiest day of the year as consumers log on to buy their Christmas presents.

This is the first time the US event, which sees retailers slash prices in a rush of festive discounts, has occurred in the UK and, as a result, retailers are expecting £320m worth of sales today made on Visa cards alone, which would make it the biggest shopping day in UK history.

A combination of pay day for the majority of consumers falling on the last Friday of the month and a weekend spent browsing the shops results in shoppers logging on to buy their gifts online on the subsequent Monday, a Visa Europe representative told The Evening Standard.

All of these factors will result in consumers spending £222,222 per minute, making 4,722 transactions every 60 seconds.

Thats certainly a lot of shopping.
