Bloomsbury Money Integrates ClearBank to Deepen Global Payment Capabilities

Published

on

ST. HELIER, Jersey, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bloomsbury Money Jersey has integrated ClearBank’s banking infrastructure into its global network. This move brings advanced payment capabilities to Bloomsbury Money’s institutional clients, allowing them to move funds faster and more securely across multiple industries and jurisdictions.

Driven by a commitment to market fairness and transparency, Bloomsbury Money, regulated in Jersey/Channel Islands as an e-money institution and VASP, utilizes an open, multi-bank network. The platform continuously integrates diverse banking partners to ensure international clients benefit from robust options, greater resilience, and a wider choice of global currencies and local payment systems.

Through this new integration with ClearBank, clients will be able to access SEPA, SEPA Instant, SWIFT, GBP clearing including Faster Payments, CHAPS and BACS, and Wire services across G10 currencies. All payments and banking services are accessed directly through Bloomsbury Money’s native, in-house built banking platform, ensuring a smooth and unified user experience.

The expanded service suite includes:

Real-time FX conversionsLocal and cross-border paymentsReal named accounts and virtual IBANsCorporate debit cards (launching soon) for business expense management, high-net-worth individuals, and private family offices.

Bridging the Gap in Cross-Border Payments
A key focus of this expansion is Bloomsbury Money’s unique ability to offer access to both stablecoin and traditional fiat banking rails. By linking these two systems together, the platform significantly cuts down settlement times for international transactions, removing traditional friction from cross-border commerce.

Industry Commentary
“As a next generation neobank, our focus is entirely on removing friction through smart technology,” concluded Chris Park, CEO of Bloomsbury Money. “Building our platform entirely in-house allows us to deliver seamless banking services that adapt directly to the high standards of our institutional clients.”

“We’re pleased to support Bloomsbury Money as it expands the capabilities available to its clients.,” said Emma Hagan, UK CEO of ClearBank. “Through ClearBank’s secure, regulated banking infrastructure, clients can access a broader range of payment and account services through a single platform, helping them move money more efficiently across markets and currencies. We’re focused on providing the banking infrastructure that allows our clients to innovate, scale and deliver more for their own customers.”

For too long, institutional finance has been held back by legacy infrastructure, built decades ago. These outdated traditional banking rails often cause delays, high fees, and a lack of transparency. In today’s fast-moving economy, there is a real urgency for banking innovation that matches the speed of modern global business, especially in highly specialized sectors.

“We are excited to bring these customized banking rails to Jersey and other offshore trust companies and funds,” said Michael Idzkowski, Co-founder of Bloomsbury Money. “Offshore markets have unique requirements, and this network expansion gives them the specialized tools they need to manage complex flows efficiently.”

As international commerce grows, the friction within traditional cross-border payment systems has become a major roadblock. Resolving these delays requires looking beyond old banking models and adopting fresh systems that bridge the gap between traditional money and digital assets, whilst maintaining the highest level of regulatory and legal compliance.

“The landscape of global money movement is changing,” added Chris Clarke, Head of Compliance at Bloomsbury Money. “By combining stablecoin and fiat banking rails, we are truly innovating cross-border payments. We are giving clients the speed of digital assets with the safety and familiarity of traditional banking whilst ensuring adherence to JFSC and global compliance standards.”

To truly fix these legacy issues, financial platforms cannot simply patch up old systems. Real innovation requires building smart, modern technology from the ground up to provide a smooth, and scalable user experience.

Supporting Our Business Partners: Plotio’s Approach to Financial Education, Service and International Engagement

Published

on

By

TAIPEI, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In the financial industry, “partnership” is one of the easiest words to say but one of the hardest commitments to uphold. Plotio works with business partners on the basis of long-term, transparent cooperation. Over sixteen years of operation, the Group has focused on consistent service and clear communication with its partners.

As the global financial landscape continues to evolve, many focus on moving faster. Plotio has chosen instead to master one thing thoroughly, consistently, and transparently. Over time, this commitment has earned the group a strong reputation. Sixteen years of operating experience in international markets have become the foundation for even stronger long-term support for business partners around the world. Through financial education, professional services, and global engagement, Plotio has consistently grown alongside its partners.

Building Strong Partner Trust Through Objective Knowledge and Corporate Credibility

Within the financial industry, reputation and professional expertise remain the foundation of successful cooperation. Plotio has received a number of industry awards from financial media over the years.

Education remains Plotio’s strongest professional support. Over the years, the group has invested heavily in investor education, delivering more than 2,000 financial education seminars annually while developing an effective approach to explaining complex financial concepts clearly. Covering market fundamentals, risk awareness, and analytical frameworks through a structured learning process, these educational programs are delivered in local languages and supported by market-relevant examples.

All seminars and educational courses are intended solely for financial education purposes. Likewise, the Plotio App provides market information and learning resources to support partners’ ongoing learning.

Cross-Border Support in a Shared Time Zone

Headquartered in one of Asia’s leading financial centers, Plotio operates within a similar time zone and market rhythm as many of its Asia-Pacific partners. This provides practical advantages through faster information sharing and smoother communication across borders.

Recognizing differences in language and culture across markets, Plotio provides localized multilingual financial information while respecting the unique characteristics of each region, ensuring content remains relevant to local partners.

Beyond daily business support, Plotio also extends seasonal greetings during traditional festivals, reflecting genuine care through interactions and long-term commitment.

Operational Support: A Structured Foundation for Long-Term Partnerships

Strong partnerships require reliable support systems. Plotio provides partners with a comprehensive operational framework, including dedicated account teams, clearly defined partnership policies, and regular communication and training programs.

Rather than pursuing rapid expansion, Plotio focuses its resources on creating an environment where partners can operate with confidence—supported by consistent service, fair mechanisms, and commitments that are honored.

Leveraging International Sports Partnerships to Share a Global Perspective

The world of sport and the financial markets share the same principles: discipline, focus, and long-term dedication. Plotio continues to participate in international sporting partnerships, including international billiards championships, WTT World Table Tennis events, the Macau Grand Prix, and international football competitions.

For partners, these events represent more than sponsorship visibility—they offer opportunities to attend in person, connect with industry peers, and engage directly with Plotio’s global team, allowing partnerships to deepen through genuine face-to-face interaction.

Looking Ahead: Moving Forward Together Through Knowledge and Shared Vision

Looking ahead, Plotio will continue supporting partner growth through an increasingly diverse range of initiatives.

In addition to professional content and ongoing business support, the group will create more opportunities for collaboration through offline networking events, international visits, and higher-quality engagement platforms that encourage dialogue, relationship building, and cooperation.

For Plotio, supporting partners is about more than providing resources—it is about helping partners broaden their perspectives, deepen mutual trust, and move forward steadily together in an ever-changing market environment.
