ClearBank has announced the availability of its cloud-native banking solutions and payment infrastructure in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, an online store providing applications and services for use on Azure. This will open up ClearBank’s banking solutions and payments infrastructure to all Azure customers, presenting an important growth opportunity for ClearBank.

ClearBank’s customers can now take advantage of the productive and trusted Azure cloud platform, with streamlined deployment and management.

In addition to significantly reducing the friction of the procurement process and promoting scalability, adopting ClearBank products through Azure Marketplace provides existing Microsoft customers with commercial benefits.

The Azure Marketplace’s stringent security, technology and compliance requirements reflect the competence of ClearBank’s products

This is the latest development in the companies’ collaboration, which started in 2017. It includes a sustainability initiative which started this year focused on establishing carbon efficiency in payments and supporting the sector through low-carbon technology innovation and cooperation.

John Salter, Chief Customer Officer at ClearBank, said: “Our long-standing collaboration with Microsoft has played an important role in ClearBank’s expansion, setting us up to grow globally whilst also accelerating our sustainability improvements. This latest move further strengthens these ties, opening up ClearBank to a wider pool of businesses as we look to push into new markets. We pride ourselves on our cloud-native approach and are confident that Microsoft’s systems will facilitate seamless adoption of our services to companies using Microsoft Azure.”

Thanks to Azure Marketplace and partners like ClearBank, customers can do more with less by increasing efficiency, buying confidently and spending smarter.”
