Finnish banks hit by instant payment outages

Several Finnish banks are experiencing disruptions to their instant payment services, Finnish public broadcaster Yle reports.

OP, Nordea, and S-pankki have all notified customers of problems affecting their instant payment services on Tuesday. OP said it has temporarily suspended inbound and outbound SEPA Instant payment traffic. Nordea and S-pankki have also reported disruptions to their instant payment services.

According to Nordea, the problem stems from a payment service provider and affects multiple banks as well as MobilePay payments.
