Why are so many of the UK’s Banking services suffering downtime?



Bank service outages are now so regular we’ve almost stopped caring. Unless you’re an affected customer of one of these blips, the chances are you shrug your shoulders and get on with your day. But why are so many banks continuing to let us down?
We in the Nonstop Tandemsphere thought we’d solved this problem back in 1976. 
Banks were then crying out for reliable systems that would tolerate failures and keep running. 

These systems we rely upon today date from before the days of the Internet, before the days of the iPhone, and certainly before the days when the words Dark Web and Hackers drifted into modern use.  Since then, we’ve been busy trying to adapt our legacy systems for the modern world, tacking on bits of software, plugging gaps, changing a few operational procedures, jumping through a few hoops to satisfy the regulators.  But what continues to happen? Systems fall over, or worse still freeze like rabbits in headlights.

OmniPayments takes a 21st century approach to e-payments.  We recognise that modern systems require a number of key characteristics:

  • Flexible APIs for enterprise integration
  • Simplify Digital Transformation 
  • Mobile Ready
  • Rapid implementation times
  • Robust Security
  • 100% availability 


Modern Banks freed from the legacy of sticky-tape IT systems, have built their infrastructure using modern practices, emerging technologies while leveraging the strength of solid underlying platforms.

OmniPayments transforms your payments infrastructure either on-prem or as a service enabling you to focus on your core business of generating profits and serving customers 24/7.
