  4. resolved Jul 29, 2026, 09:06 AM UTC

    We can confirm that the technical issues with our provider yesterday evening have been fully resolved, and all Countingup services are back to normal. Between 18:40 and 22:28 BST on 28/07/2026, our provider had a total platform outage. This meant inbound and outbound transfers, card authorisations, new account sign-ups, and in-app card controls (like freezing/thawing or grabbing your PIN) were unavailable. Other parts of the app were running fine throughout. We know how much you rely on us to run your business day-to-day, and we are really sorry for the hassle and frustration this caused. Thanks so much for bearing with us while we sorted it. If you noticed anything strange with a transaction during that window or need a hand with anything else, please reach out to the support team directly in the app and we’ll help you get sorted as soon as possible.

  2. investigating Jul 27, 2026, 01:06 PM UTC

    Any outbound payments that have been attempted after 13:18 have been held and queued whilst the third-party technical difficulties are ongoing. These payments will be processed once the service is restored and stable. Any inbound payments may be successful or may be reversed; this will depend entirely on the third-party provider. This is still being investigated by the third party.

  3. investigating Jul 27, 2026, 04:05 PM UTC

    Third-party investigations remain ongoing into the Faster Payments service issues. Here is what this means for your payments right now: • Outgoing payments: Any payments you send are safely queued in our system. They will go through automatically as soon as the issue is resolved and service is fully restored. • Incoming payments: Payments sent to you may go through as normal, or they might automatically reverse back to the sender if the connection drops. Our team is monitoring the situation closely and working directly with our provider to get things back to normal as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience while we get this sorted. We’ll keep you updated as soon as we have more news.

  4. investigating Jul 27, 2026, 05:09 PM UTC

    We’ve received an update that recovery is progressing well and some payments are processing much more reliably. To make sure your money moves safely, outgoing Faster Payments will stay queued for a little bit longer. As soon as our provider confirms full stability and we’re completely confident in the connection, all queued payments will be released automatically. Thanks again for bearing with us while we make sure everything is completely secure. We’ll drop another update here as soon as outgoing payments start moving.

  5. resolved Jul 27, 2026, 08:05 PM UTC

    We've been informed that the fixes that were implemented have restored stability. All payments that were queued have been released automatically - all of these have been successful. Any inbound payments that had been returned to the senders can now be attempted and should clear into your account. We really appreciate your patience during this time.
