Synch Payments DAC, the Irish instant mobile account to account payments service, today announced that „following a careful and considered review of its business plan it has reached the difficult decision that it is no longer feasible to launch its payments app, Yippay, into the Irish market and Synch will cease operations”.
„A combination of factors has contributed to an elongated timeframe to launch which makes the original Synch proposition no longer viable.” according to the press release.
Synch was established in 2020 by some of Ireland’s leading banks with the intention of bringing a simple, industry wide mobile instant payment service to the market for all payment types, based on an innovative digital solution.
Synch was tasked with building a money-transfer app, called Yippay, on behalf of AIB, Bank of Ireland, and Permanent TSB to help the banks take on the likes of Revolut.
