The Hong Kong Monetary Authority plans to implement system improvements to the Faster Payment System (FPS) on 18 August 2024, which may result in temporary service disruptions.





The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has announced a planned system upgrade to the Faster Payments System (FPS) on 18 August 2024. According to official sources, the upgrade will result in a temporary service interruption from 1am to 11am on that day.

Details of planned outages

Hong Kong Interbank Clearing Limited, the operator of FPS, will be carrying out system improvements. As a result, FPS services will be unavailable for 10 hours. This downtime is critical to implement necessary upgrades to improve system efficiency and stability.

Impact on users

HKMA has requested banks and stored value facility (SVF) operators to inform customers in advance of the planned disruption. Users are advised to make necessary arrangements for payment activities to avoid inconvenience. For specific details of the affected FPS services, customers may contact their respective banks or SVF operators.

Background and Importance

Launched in 2018, the Faster Payment System is a core infrastructure of Hong Kong’s financial ecosystem, enabling instant fund transfers across banks and SVFs. The planned improvements aim to enhance the performance of the system to meet the growing demand for real-time payment services.

Similar initiatives in related developments have been observed worldwide. Central Bank And financial institutions are working to improve their payment systems. For example, the European Central Bank recently announced an upgrade to its TARGET Instant Payment Settlement (TIPS) system, reflecting a broader trend toward optimizing financial infrastructure.

Members of the public who wish to know more details about the planned improvements are encouraged to refer to the official announcement from the HKMA.
