ClearBank
ClearBank is a UK clearing and Banking-as-a-Service bank, founded in 2015 by Nick Ogden (founder of WorldPay) and Charles McManus and granted a banking licence in December 2016 as the first new UK clearing bank in more than 250 years. ClearBank Limited is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority (FRN 754568), with a European subsidiary, ClearBank Europe N.V., authorised by the European Central Bank. It is privately owned, backed by Apax Partners and PPF Group. Built cloud-native on Microsoft Azure, ClearBank is a direct participant in the UK payment schemes (Faster Payments, CHAPS, Bacs) and offers Agency Banking, Embedded Banking, and Transaction Banking to banks, fintechs, and corporates through a single proprietary JSON REST API. Unlike the CMA9 retail banks, ClearBank is not a mandated Open Banking ASPSP and does not publish the OBIE Open Data (ATMs/Branches/Products) or OBIE Read/Write (AISP/PISP/CBPII) APIs; its public developer surface is the token-authenticated, RSA-signed ClearBank Financial Institutions API covering GBP accounts and payments, multi-currency accounts, FX, SEPA, cross-border payments, Confirmation of Payee, customer due diligence (KYC), and embedded/retail banking, with a full simulation environment for onboarding.
ClearBank publishes 15 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Accounts API, Co P API, Create Fx Quote Endpoint API, and 12 more. Tagged areas include Financial-Services, Banking, Banking as a Service, Embedded Banking, and Payments.
The ClearBank catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.
ClearBank’s developer surface includes authentication, sandbox, documentation, getting-started guide, API reference, engineering blog, and 38 more developer resources.
