With UK businesses spending a total of about £25bn to cover their energy bills every year, it’s important to make sure you’re paying the correct amount. Apex Litigation Group can help you retrieve the money you’re owed on a no-win, no-fee structure.

Streamline your business’s financial processes using a single banking hub

(Bank Clarity)

Online banking interfaces struggle to accommodate the nuanced requirements of corporate clients’ business processes. Most large, international corporates are “multi-banked”, but this further complicates issues around visibility of payments and banking activities, user management, audit and governance. Implementation of a global banking hub allows you to throw away the “dongles”, providing a single interface for all transactional and treasury activity for firms that manage multi-party, multi-banked, cross-border financial transactions.

Offering a secure, tailored solution for workflows and user management, banking hubs such as BankClarity allow you to integrate with banks and your accounting systems to achieve incredible efficiencies and remove errors from your business processes.

The BankClarity banking hub is trusted by some of the world’s most complex and heavily regulated global institutions.

Bank Clarity is not a bank, nor does it provide banking services.
