Business Development Representative

Job Description

ClearBank was built on the belief that banking infrastructure would no longer slow down progress. Instead, it’s the catalyst that unlocks the potential to innovate. That’s why our clients — financial institutions from fintech’s and crypto platforms, to banks and credit unions — use our API to power their banking infrastructure.

But we wouldn’t be ClearBank without our people. They’re what powers our innovative technology and the reason we love what we do every day. We’re a group of spirited people who are never afraid to challenge the norm – becoming stronger, more energised, and that much better when we’re together. It’s our belief in fairness, autonomy and choice that means our people are empowered with the tools to learn, grow, and contribute to ours and our clients’ success.

Having secured our banking licence in the United Kingdom in 2016, ClearBank has now received its European banking licence to support our expansion into Europe as part of our international growth strategy. Building out a talented and ambitious team will be crucial to supporting this growth and setting us up for future success as we work to achieve our goal of a successful European Bank.
