The appointment comes as ClearBank positions itself as a critical infrastructure provider for banks, fintechs, and financial institutions requiring modern clearing capabilities. As Chief Product Officer, Johnstone will oversee product strategy and development at a time when demand for embedded banking solutions and real-time payment rails continues to accelerate across European markets.
