Clearsettle Joins Emerging Payments Association, Fostering Innovation in the Payments Industry

LONDON, 14 August 2017—The Emerging Payments Association (EPA) 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 EPA, 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.

“We are very proud to join the Emerging Payments Association and establish Clearsettle’s profile in the payments community,” said Quent Rickerby, CEO of Clearsettle. “The thought leaders in this network will inspire and motivate us as we continue to expand. We look forward to strengthening and enhancing the payments industry through collaboration with our fellow members.”

“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 EPA. “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.”

Clearsettle is part of the AKCE Holdings group of companies, a payments ecosystem committed to removing obstacles in the global flow of money so that people everywhere can access the goods and services they need. In addition to its lead sponsorship of the Emerging Payments Awards, Clearsettle is also sponsoring two individual award categories: Best PSP or Acquiring Solution Provider and Leading Emerging Payments Organisation.
