This incident is now resolved
Between approximately 12:05 and 12:30 BST, some users experienced slow page loads on the Blink merchant portal, and reporting pages including Card Transactions and Payment Requests may have timed out. A short period of errors occurred between 12:00 and 12:12 BST.
Card payments, payment links and API transactions processed normally throughout and were not affected.
We have identified the contributing factors and have follow-up work underway to prevent recurrence. We apologise for the disruption.
