Not all broadband solutions are built for the demands of a modern banking environment. When choosing a provider, it’s important to look beyond basic speed and price. Here are the critical factors to keep in mind:
Security & compliance: Banks handle sensitive customer data and financial transactions. Your broadband must support secure protocols and integrate with authentication systems like 3D Secure.
Uptime & resilience: Downtime can result in missed transactions, frustrated customers, and regulatory headaches. A Service Level Agreement (SLA) with guaranteed uptime is essential.
Guest network separation: If you offer in-branch Wi-Fi to customers, it must be completely separate from internal systems to protect your core infrastructure.
Redundancy & hardware failover: Look for providers who offer failover solutions or router-level redundancy to keep you online even if there’s an outage.
Third-party compatibility: Ensure your broadband can support integrations with security cameras, remote access systems, or fintech platforms used by staff or customers.
Scalability: Whether you’re opening a new branch or upgrading multiple sites, your broadband provider should be able to scale with your growth without disruption.
Support & responsiveness: Fast-response support and dedicated business service lines reduce downtime and give your teams confidence when issues arise.
Security is at the core of Hyperoptic’s business broadband for banks. Our full fibre infrastructure minimises the physical vulnerabilities associated with copper-based lines, while our network is built with enterprise-grade security from the ground up.
Each connection supports encrypted communications, private IP ranges, and VLAN configuration. Internal traffic can be completely segmented from guest traffic, reducing exposure to internal data. This segmentation is crucial for banks working with PCI DSS, ISO 27001, or internal IT governance protocols.
In addition to technical safeguards, we educate businesses about cyber hygiene. Banks can access resources like our guides on phishing prevention and spotting scam emails to further support employee awareness and operational resilience.
Reliable Wi-Fi isn’t just a convenience — it’s a competitive advantage in the banking sector. Here’s how high-speed broadband can support both your customers and your internal operations:
Enhanced customer experience: Offering free, secure guest Wi-Fi helps reduce perceived wait times and supports digital-first services like mobile check-ins and account access.
Operational efficiency: Staff can access real-time data, update customer profiles, and use cloud-based platforms without interruption — improving speed and service quality.
Support for digital services: Enables seamless integration with self-service kiosks, video conferencing, remote advisory tools, and mobile app syncing.
Multi-device connectivity: Modern branches run multiple terminals, tablets, ATMs, and IoT devices — all of which depend on stable, high-speed internet.
Brand perception: Banks that offer tech-enabled, connected environments signal innovation, security, and professionalism — key traits customers value today.
Hyperoptic delivers fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) with symmetrical speeds up to 1 Gbps. Built for high-demand environments, our network ensures low latency, robust security, and scalability.
