What faster payments testing actually is

End-to-end testing of Faster Payments outbound, inbound, status and recall flows.

When you need it

Before Pay.UK readiness, after any sponsor or aggregator change, and on every release that touches FPS.

What Forth delivers

Golden message library, FPS sandbox harness and reconciliation evidence.

The pitfall we don't repeat

Testing only the happy path and missing reject (e.g. AC03) and recall scenarios.

How we engage

Fixed-scope discovery, a 30-day pilot against a real workload, and a continuation engagement with named UK-based engineers. Every artefact is version-controlled and ready for second-line review.

Frequently asked questions

Do you deliver faster payments testing as a managed service?

Yes. We can run faster payments testing as a one-off engagement, as part of a programme, or as a continuous managed service with monthly reporting.

Can you work alongside our in-house team?

Yes — most engagements augment an existing team. We work to your tooling, your standards and your release process, not ours.

What evidence do you produce for our auditors?

Every engagement produces traceable evidence: scenarios mapped to requirements or controls, run logs, defect history and a sign-off pack your second line can use without rework.

How fast can you start?

Most faster payments testing engagements start within 2-4 weeks of a signed SoW, faster if there's an existing supplier framework in place.
