Volopa is teaming up with ClearBank, the enabler of real-time clearing and embedded banking for financial institutions. The deal will allow Volopa to expand the services it can offer its growing portfolio of SME clients. ClearBank, a technology-enabled clearing bank enables partners, like Volopa, to offer real-time payment and innovative banking services to their customers.
Volopa currently brings together three products into one offering. Specifically, global payments from the UK to 180 countries worldwide, multicurrency prepaid company cards, and simplified employee expense management. Volopa empowers CFOs, FDs and Treasurers to save time and money. And it helps optimise company performance, through one single platform. Volopa is easy to integrate and works effectively as a single layer across a client’s existing banking and fintech partners. The Volopa platform also fully integrates with QuickBooks and Xero, reducing friction and increasing efficiency.

The partnership is part of Volopa’s application for an e-money licence. This is expected to be granted later this year by the Financial Conduct Authority. After the e-money licence is secured and ClearBank’s technology platform is fully integrated, Volopa’s customers will be able to access UK payment rails allowing them to transfer funds to individuals, businesses, or other financial institutions.
Furthermore, they will be able to open safeguarded bank accounts and virtual accounts. Volopa can also offer its growing client base multicurrency, cross-border payments and FX solutions.
