FreedomPay and Financial Times released research based on a survey of 2,000 Australian consumers and 200 business managers. The study found that up to AU$3.1 billion in annual retail and hospitality sales is vulnerable to payment failures. Businesses surveyed reported an average of five payment disruptions annually, with outages lasting 136 minutes on average. FreedomPay estimates that a single disruption could cost AU$554 million in immediate lost sales.

FreedomPay stated that shoppers abandon purchases after 10 to 11 minutes of delay, and recovering systems within the first five minutes could avoid up to 91% of potential losses.
