Overview

Our API

The ClearBank API is a JSON RESTful API which allows you to interact with our Accounts, Clearing, and Embedded Banking products. Webhooks are used to deliver asynchronous event notifications such as transaction confirmations and account-specific reconciliations as they occur.

The ClearBank API is available for consumption by financial institutions, Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulated businesses, and fintech companies which have been onboarded with ClearBank.

Building your system

To create a working system, you will need to log in and authenticate, be able to create and manage accounts, make transactions, and support reconciliation and reporting.

Once built, the validation steps are:

1. You test your connectivity and interaction with our full suite of endpoints and webhooks in a simulation environment (sandbox).
2. We take you through a QA process to confirm successful integration.
3. Finally, you will be promoted to use the API in a live/production environment.
