That’s a lot more candy

halloween_pumpkinWith Halloween falling on a Saturday this year, I thought Friday might be the big day for shoppers to stock up on candy. 

As Maxwell Smart would say, “Missed it by that much.”

Saturday, this nation’s proud procrastinator majority once again rose up and demanded to be counted!  Saturday ended up slightly outpacing Friday, 1,314,260 transactions to 1,294,736.  That’s slightly over 2.5 million payment transaction requests serviced over a two-day period at OLS’ flagship acquirer implementation.
