Service availability and changes
In order for gateway services to be good quality and suitable for practical use, you may need to give us information or help with testing in tight timeframes. Delays with this can affect the planned availability of our services.
Sometimes we’ll need to make changes to, replace or stop a service. We’ll try to give you as much notice as we can, however this may not always be possible.

Near real-time data exchange and improved data quality
Digitally integrating with us means near real-time data exchange. Customers do not need to email or call us - they have direct access to data we hold about their business.
