]]>The Payment Systems Board – whose members include the chairs of the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority – said it will make public the outage data it collects.
Ironically the move comes after millions of Australians spent Monday waiting for funds to finally clear, four days after a massive outage at the Commonwealth Bank.
This appears to have been due to widespread dependence on legacy batch systems by the other Big Four banks and smaller institutions.
“Following a sharp jump in outages recently, the [RBA] will be looking to take additional steps to encourage improved operational resilience,” the Payment System’s Board annual report said.
“To strengthen transparency and market discipline, the [RBA] will be working with Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (APRA) and the industry to develop a standardised set of statistics on operational outages in retail payments, to be publicly disclosed by individual institutions.”

]]>The UMP Cloud (Unified Device Management Platform) by AVSystem allows device management and monitoring for small and medium-sized ISPs utilising the TR-069 protocol and offers all the advantages of a carrier grade Automatic Configuration Server (ACS) system, but in a Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model.
Graeme Reardon, managing director ANZ at D-Link says, “After more than a year of due diligence, D-Link chose to strategically partner with AVSystem as their UMP Cloud Zero-touch provisioning and management solution is one of the best ACS systems available in the market today.
“The UMP Cloud solution is tailored to simultaneously serve multiple technologies and AVSystem’s expertise in this market makes the connection and management of D-Link devices seamless.”
D-Link says its partnership with AVSystem brings real value to any Service Provider or ISP looking for a combination of reliable and full-featured CPE devices, that can be easily provisioned, managed and monitored by the UMP Cloud solution straight out of the box.
Reardon says, “Many small to mid-tier Service Providers who are actively selling NBN services have manual processes or very limited options to automatically provision CPE delivered to their end-customers, let alone be able to actively manage and monitor the CPE and service once deployed.
“With new reporting requirements on the horizon for Service Providers to meet regulatory needs, this D-Link and AVSystem partnership allows Service Providers full visibility across their network, enabling them to meet these new reporting obligations.
“Zero-touch ISP device management is now easier than ever and as a result of our new partnership, D-Link customers that are using UMP Cloud spend almost no time doing manual configuration.
“Everyday challenges that service providers face can easily be overcome with UMP Cloud in place, all thanks to the fact that it can efficiently, effectively and remotely monitor device stability, insert configuration snapshots, verify security settings, perform firmware upgrades and high impact actions on multiple device groups.”

]]>Red Balloon on March 31st and June 30th, 2017 allegedly charged four customers excessive payment surcharges with payments they made by MasterCard credit, Visa credit, Visa debit, and MasterCard debit.
Dr. Michael Scharper even confirmed that Red Balloon is charging customers more than they are allowed under ACCC guidelines.
“Red Balloon was charging these customers more than allowed under the law prohibiting excessive payment surcharges on card transactions,
This provides that businesses can only pass on to customers what it costs to accept the payment, including fees such as merchant service fees, and terminal rental and maintenance fees.”
Since Red Balloon is categorised as a large business under the excessive payment surcharges provisions it cannot over charge its customers. These laws have been in effect for over a year now.
Red Balloon since the incidents has lowered its payments to the correct amount and has cooperated with the ACCC’s investigation.
