Trust unlocks our greatest potential.

For decades, the clearing of payments remained unchanged and unchallenged. We asked, what if there was a better way? What if we could make banking infrastructure faster, safer, more reliable, and easier to access for all? Here is where you can think radically and responsibly to find the best solution.

What happens when you know you’re inherently trusted? Trust creates safety. Safety encourages you to be brave, to challenge, to fail, to try new things and to execute. At ClearBank everything revolves around trust. We’re not expected to earn it, but we are expected not to break it. We’re trusted to own it. To solve issues in the moment. To know a good risk when we see one, and the judgement to know that ‘can’ doesn’t always mean you ‘should’.

What you can expect:

ClearBank is a place where you can do things differently and challenge the status quo. We will give you a high level of autonomy and transparency, and we trust you to make the right decisions for the bank.

If that excites you, how about joining our Financial Crime Operations Team as a Fraud Operations SME? Reporting into the Fraud Manager, you will support the day-to-day delivery of fraud operations and help strengthen our fraud controls across cards and payments. You will be supporting the Fraud SME and wider team to design, operate and continuously improve fraud operations processes across the bank, whilst acting as the primary lead for fraud operations processes, you will play a pivotal role in both designing and running the day-to-day operation, and provide constructive feedback regarding ways of working and improvements.
