Summary history 2001
September – Company founded. 2002
Wins first major deal, from Visa, for a card-to-card solution based on its emerging PayPark system.
2004 May – Clear2Pay acquires Australian company, Sienna Technologies, and its Bank Payment Hub (BPH). This Java-based offering comes to form the main payment platform from the Belgian supplier. It was stated that Sienna’s payments products would complement Clear2Pay’s ‘next generation payment processing platform, PayPark’. The Sienna products would enhance PayPark with components to service the full range of retail, SME, corporate and institutional clients. As a result, the Clear2Pay solutions would broaden the coverage of the full financial value chain from initiation to settlement for high-value as well as low-value payments for both domestic and cross- border transactions. Sienna’s users in Australia included National Australia Bank, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, ANZ, St George Bank and Reserve Bank of Australia. Asian customers included BCS in Singapore and Krung Thai Computer Services (KCS), part of Krung Thai Group in Thailand. Sienna was set up almost ten years earlier and was backed by Technology Venture Partners (TVP), the largest specialist technology venture capital firm in Australia.

2005
October – Clear2Pay acquires fellow Belgian company, EFT. This added a couple of additional pieces to Clear2Pay’s expanding product range, namely charge-back functionality for debit and credit card management, and an electronic banking solution, NetBank, plus around 60 staff, taking Clear2Pay’s total headcount to 200 at this time. EFT had been around since the mid-1980s and had users in both Western and Central Europe (with a small development centre and a couple of clients in Poland). Financial terms were not revealed but it was a part cash, part equity deal.
2005
November – Clear2Pay opens a first US office as it starts to make headway in North America. It claims at this time to be working with one large US bank that had entered a pilot phase with PayPark to support payments between the US and Mexico, and two other projects in the US with small ‘community groups’.
2006
Unisys selects Clear2Pay to underpin its Open Payments Platform (OPP). OPP is intended to be based on a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and J2EE, with Unisys settling on a buy versus build route at an early stage.
2007
IBM announces its Enterprise Payments Platform (EPP), its Websphere and DB2-based, SOA-centric payments strategy. Clear2Pay is one of the companies cited as a partner for this.
