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 market-leading carbon efficiency in payments and supporting the sector through low carbon technology innovation and cooperation.

The companies are also driving advanced innovation in the financial sector through greater use of AI and automation tools, which is already delivering efficiencies and enabling ClearBank analysts to spend more time proactively supporting clients.
