ISDN Replacement Solutions in the UK for Fintech & Digital Banking

Future-proof your fintech communications with a seamless ISDN-to-SIP migration.

Migrate Before the Deadline

Openreach is switching off ISDN across the UK. We ensure your business is migrated well ahead of the deadline with zero disruption.

Better Features

Modern VoIP alternatives offer features ISDN never could — video calling, mobile integration, and flexible call routing.

Lower Costs

Most businesses see significant monthly savings after migrating from ISDN to VoIP, often reducing telephony costs by 40% or more.

Fintech & Digital Banking still relying on ISDN lines face an urgent deadline: the UK PSTN network is being switched off, and every ISDN line will cease to function. For fintech & digital banking using ISDN for voice calls, transaction streams, KYC records, and API payloads transfers, or alarm systems, failing to migrate in time means payment processing APIs experiencing unacceptable latency and complete loss of telephone service.

Cloudswitched provides modern ISDN replacement solutions for UK fintech & digital banking, migrates your business from legacy ISDN lines to modern SIP trunks and VoIP, ahead of the 2025 PSTN switch-off, with improved call quality and lower costs. We audit your existing ISDN usage, design a modern SIP-based replacement, and manage the entire migration so your engineers and compliance analysts experience no disruption to their communications.

How it works for Fintech businesses

A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.

1

Comprehensive Audit

We audit every ISDN line, channel, and number in your business — including those used for alarms, lifts, fax machines, and card payment terminals — to ensure nothing is missed.

2

Tailored Replacement Plan

Based on your audit, we recommend the right combination of VoIP, SoGEA, and analogue adapters to replace every ISDN service with a modern equivalent.

3

Managed Migration

We port your numbers, configure new systems, and test everything before decommissioning your old ISDN lines. Your team experiences zero downtime during the switch.

Seamless Migration

We port your existing telephone numbers and replicate your current call routing, so your engineers and compliance analysts and clients experience zero disruption when ISDN lines are replaced with SIP trunks.

Significant Cost Savings

SIP trunks typically cost 40-60% less than equivalent ISDN lines. For fintech & digital banking with multiple lines across offices and data centres, the savings are substantial and immediate.

Enhanced Call Quality

Modern SIP trunks deliver HD voice quality that surpasses ISDN, ensuring your engineers and compliance analysts present professionally on every call with clients, suppliers, and fintech contacts.

Future-Proof Technology

Unlike ISDN, SIP trunks integrate with modern fintech platforms and support features like video calling, call recording, and CRM integration with Stripe, Plaid, and open banking API platforms.
