Customers using the cloud computing platform, Azure by Microsoft, will now be able to use cloud-native banking solutions and payment infrastructure provided by ClearBank, the enabler of real-time clearing and embedded banking, following a new partnership.
ClearBank’s customers will also be able to benefit from this partnership as they will be able to take advantage of the Azure platform, with streamlined deployment and management. In addition to reducing the friction of the procurement process and promoting scalability, adopting ClearBank products through Azure Marketplace provides existing Microsoft customers with commercial benefits.
On top of this, the Azure Marketplace’s security, technology, and compliance requirements reflect the quality of ClearBank’s products and will help build additional trust with buyers and sellers on the platform.
The two companies first started working together in 2017, and both have flourished ever since. The latest collaboration includes a sustainability initiative which started this year. It focuses on establishing 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. In fact, the tech is already delivering efficiencies and enabling ClearBank analysts to spend more time proactively supporting clients.
