ingenico's directory doesn't actually tell us when things are unavailable.
Sign up for these, direct from iDEAL: https://availability.ideal.nl/merchants
Create a listener for them and update the bank list when things are unavailable
Probably want to cache outages under a separate key.

[wikimedia/fundraising/SmashPig@master] Hack to get availability straight from iDEAL
This idea doesn't quite work - we need the outage information on the payments servers, but they wouldn't host the notification listener. In our current setup, we don't allow things in the rest of the cluster to affect the payment boxes at all.
Fortunately, there's an undocumented API on the iDEAL availability site that gets all the info we need: http://availability.ideal.nl/api/api/GetIssuers

This is actually unhelpful 'cause we're contractually not allowed to change the list'
Correct (i have some familiarity with iDEAL), though I note that in general with iDEAL, you can add additional information to the page containing the bank selector page, including information you retrieve from availability api of course. "Note: ING might temporarily not be available" and the like.
All patches in Gerrit have been merged. @Ejegg: Can this task be resolved, or is there more to do in this task? Asking as you are set as task assignee.
Looks like we're not going to do this. We might even move our iDEAL processing to a processor that can host the bank list for us.
