Fintech group ClearBank has moved into its new headquarters in the City of London’s Broadgate Tower, announced at an opening event with Economic Secretary to the Treasury Lucy Rigby.
Though ClearBank has stated its plans to heavily target overseas expansion, having recently appointed former Uber payments boss Tristan Kirchner as its European chief executive, the embedded banking group confirmed its commitment to the UK capital as the ideal HQ for a fintech.
Opening our new London headquarters is a major moment for ClearBank. It reflects not just our growth but also our belief in the unique opportunity the UK and Europe offer as leaders in financial innovation,” said ClearBank group CEO Mark Fairless.
“We are incredibly proud to call this our new headquarters, but this is just the next step in our growth strategy and we have ambitious plans for further growth. Home to the fintech revolution, our position here enables us to support the next generation of customers and partners as they scale across borders, powering this thriving ecosystem to go from strength to strength.”
The move into the new office comes as the company celebrates reaching £18bn in customer deposits held.
“It is brilliant to see ClearBank opening a new, larger London HQ. This is another vote of confidence in the UK as Europe’s number one fintech hub and a leader in financial innovation,” said the City Minister.
“By backing innovators like this, we’re driving growth, creating high-skilled jobs and helping put more money in people’s pockets.”
