LONDON, 14 August 2017—The Payments Association welcomes Clearsettle as a new member and lead sponsor of the association’s annual awards. Clearsettle, based in London, offers a global white label payment gateway that enables payment service providers (PSPs) to offer hundreds of payment methods in countries around the world. Through membership in the Payments Association, Clearsettle joins a community of innovators who aim to improve payments for everyone.
Clearsettle, a rapidly growing leader in global payments, makes it simpler and faster for anyone, no matter where they are, to pay and receive money. The Clearsettle platform empowers PSPs and their merchants to execute payments in over 140 countries—and connects them to local bank settlement networks around the world. With one integration to Clearsettle, PSPs can accept payments and make marketplace payouts globally. By offering hundreds of preferred payment methods, Clearsettle can help merchants increase conversions and make payments easy and secure for consumers.
“Clearsettle is becoming a major player in the payments space, both in the UK and around the world,” said Tony Craddock, director general of the Payments Association. “They have a vision for the future of global payments—and the technology and organisation to make that vision a reality. We welcome the insights their team will bring to our group.”
