Last week’s "glitch" that affected thousands of grant recipients was related to a dispute over a "payment switch" software used by Postbank to pay the grants. Postbank is in an ongoing court case with the former supplier of its "payment switch", Electronic Connection. As of August, a new supplier has provided a "payment switch". The migration to this new supplier caused last week’s glitch. Postbank’s challenges with the "payment switch" software date back to 2018 and have still not been resolved.
