Case Study: ClearBank achieves instant, secure modern banking with Microsoft Azure

Bringing Banking into the 21st Century with ClearBank

ClearBank, the first UK clearing bank in 250 years, set out to reinvigorate the banking market by enabling instant, modern payments. The company’s challenge was to avoid the legacy, batch-processing systems used by incumbents and to meet strict security requirements while delivering services much faster than traditional banks.

Using Microsoft Azure and a partnership with Elastacloud, ClearBank built a secure, cloud-native payments platform and an API-driven model that allows integrations in as little as eight weeks. Backed by Microsoft’s cybersecurity resources, the solution delivers instant payments, dramatically faster product cycles and a scalable transactional banking platform that fulfills ClearBank’s mission.
