Why 99.999% Uptime Matters — and How Clear Choice Keeps Your Payments Running
Twitter/X
When it comes to payments, downtime isn't just inconvenient — it's expensive.
Every minute your ATM, kiosk, or POS terminal goes offline, you're losing transactions, customers, and trust. That's why uptime is more than a metric at Clear Choice — it's a mission.
The Real Cost of Downtime
Whether you operate a busy retail location or manage a fleet of ATMs, reliability is everything. Even short interruptions can:
- Delay customer checkouts and create frustration at the point of sale
- Trigger chargebacks and disputes when transactions fail mid-process
- Damage your reputation as customers lose confidence in your systems
- Add hours of manual reconciliation later as you sort through incomplete transactions
Our systems are designed to keep your business moving — and your customers happy — no matter what.
What Does 99.999% Uptime Really Mean?
Let's do the math.
"Five nines" equals less than five minutes of downtime per year. That's the gold standard for mission-critical networks — and it's what Clear Choice delivers through our robust infrastructure, redundant data centers, and continuous monitoring.
It's not luck; it's engineering.
