Iliad worked with the vast majority of the UK banks and Infrastructure Provider in the performance testing of the recent faster payments implementation (a forerunner to SEPA). In conjunction with number of member banks Iliad were able to set up and replicate the payments infrastructure within the client banks, including both FPS scheme transactions and the back end host payments system within the banks to ensure that new payments gateways that were being deployed were capable of supporting the new scheme requirements. 12 Member banks simulated a variety of transaction volumes ranging from 50 up to 1500 TPS. This performance testing ensured that our clients were successfully able to demonstrate that their new systems were able to support the requirements and transaction volumes dictated by the new scheme.
