Multiple banks Service Disruption

Post-Mortem
We would like to share more details with our customers on the open banking outage that occurred last week.
On Wednesday 25th January 2023, the OBIE experienced a service disruption to their MATLS (Mutual Authentication Transport Layer Security) certificate validation service due to an essential endpoint being unavailable. This in turn impacted many financial institutions within the UK (Lloyds Banking Group, Clydesdale, HSBC, among others), preventing payments being made or data being retrieved. The impact began at approximately 7:00 and was restored by 11:00 GMT.
We have reviewed this incident, to determine how we might prevent recurrence or accelerate impact mitigation and it was concluded that in the case that the certificate provider experienced the same issue the financial institutions would need to employ a workaround (provided by the OBIE, https://directory.openbanking.org.uk/obieservicedesk/s/article/Current-Incident-002) themselves individually in order to restore service.
We understand how important our platform is for our customers’ businesses. Our goal is to minimise disruptions and outages for our customers regardless of the origin of the issue.
