The new agreement focuses on expanding access to Circle’s fully backed digital currencies across Europe.
Through this collaboration, ClearBank aims to give financial institutions and fintechs an easier, compliant way to use stablecoins for payments. Also, liquidity management and cross-border transactions.
Joining the Circle Payments Network
At the heart of the deal is Circle Mint, Circle’s platform for minting and redeeming USDC and EURC. Both stablecoins are designed to hold a steady value, backed one-to-one by cash and short-term government assets. The partnership allows ClearBank’s clients to integrate these stablecoins into their systems, improving speed and reducing costs compared to traditional international transfers. According to the Bank for International Settlements, cross-border payments still take an average of two to three days. Stablecoins like USDC could cut that time to mere seconds.
ClearBank also announced plans to join the Circle Payments Network (CPN), a global system that connects banks and businesses through blockchain-based settlement. By linking its cloud-native banking platform with Circle’s digital payment rails, ClearBank is taking another step toward blending traditional finance with blockchain efficiency. This connection will enable clients to transfer money across borders instantly, with full transparency and reduced fees.

Mark Fairless, CEO of ClearBank, called the move “a milestone in ClearBank’s evolution as a cross-border payments innovator,” emphasizing how Circle’s technology complements ClearBank’s regulated banking foundation. Circle’s VP for Partnerships in EMEA, Sanja Kon, echoed that sentiment, saying the partnership would “expand access to USDC and EURC, enabling faster settlement and greater transparency.”
