Transactive Systems CEO Noyan Nihat said: “Businesses have been crying out for faster, simpler and better value payment options.

“The old banks’ monopoly on payment services has been broken, and we are delighted to have worked with the UK’s first new clearing bank in 250 years, ClearBank to make this possible in the UK.”

Transactive Systems already has a separate e-money licence with the central bank of Lithuania. The company’s sponsor for the Faster Payment Service is ClearBank.
