ClearBank, a neobank from the UK known for its crypto-friendly approach and as a regulated Faster Payments provider, is preparing to become part of the

ClearBank CEO Mark Fairless called this development a “milestone” for updating international finance, highlighting the strong fit between ClearBank’s regulated banking platform and Circle’s expertise in digital currencies, as mentioned in the press release. Sanja Kon, Circle’s VP of EMEA partnerships, noted that the collaboration will broaden access to “open, programmable money,” allowing for quicker settlements and supporting new financial innovations, FintechNews reported.

This partnership also mirrors a wider trend in the industry toward stablecoin-powered payments. Since Circle introduced CPN in April 2025, its main revenue-sharing partner, Coinbase, has already adopted stablecoin services. ClearBank’s participation in CPN highlights the increasing importance of stablecoins in making cross-border payments more efficient while staying within strict regulatory boundaries, the press release stated.

It’s worth noting that ClearBank had previously considered launching its own stablecoin but encountered regulatory challenges, especially from the Bank of England, according to the press release. By choosing to use Circle’s infrastructure, ClearBank is taking a practical route through Europe’s changing crypto environment. The partnership also paves the way for future applications, such as stablecoin-based treasury management and tokenized asset settlements, FintechNews reported.

With MiCA rules coming into full force, this collaboration fits into a broader movement of crypto companies aiming for regulatory benefits in the EU. While ClearBank is pushing payment innovation, other companies like Blockchain.com have obtained MiCA licenses in Malta, as reported by
