Credit Card Transaction Aggregates
Anonymized and aggregated credit card transaction data by merchant category, geography, and time period for market research.
Overview
The Credit Card Transaction Aggregates dataset provides anonymized, aggregated consumer spending data derived from a panel of millions of credit and debit card holders across the United States. Data is aggregated by merchant category code (MCC), geographic region (state, metro area, ZIP code), and time period (daily, weekly, monthly).
Metrics include transaction count, total spend, average ticket size, year-over-year growth, and same-store sales estimates. No individual transaction or cardholder data is exposed — all metrics represent statistical aggregates with minimum threshold requirements for privacy.
Used extensively by hedge funds for alternative data alpha generation, retailers for market share estimation, economists for consumer spending nowcasting, and consultancies for industry benchmarking.
