About Clear Finance

Clear Finance is the new financial services offering from Clear. We are eager to replicate our success in simplifying tax and compliance, in the financial services sector. We are focused on creating customer-first products that reimagine what is possible to simplify financial services and help supply-side partners manage their funnel exposure smartly and as per their requirement.

At Clear, we have been making dependable software solutions that serve individuals, SMEs, CAs, and enterprise customers since 2011. Repeated requests from our customers for other high-quality solutions to augment their existing software products led us to launch Clear Invoice Discounting, which will run in parallel to our existing SaaS offerings, and provide select financial services.

Clear Invoice Discounting is our first financial services offering, and enables suppliers to get paid early on their invoices– rather than wait out the long credit periods. For enterprises (or buyer companies), it provides multiple ways to easily fund these early payment requests at a mutually-agreed upon discount, creating a win-win scenario for both parties involved.

Loved by finance teams all around

We saw an exceptional increase in efficiency of 800% after subscribing to the Clear Invoicing solution. We are extremely happy as Clear simplified our business operations! We now enjoy automated invoicing across our customer and supplier journey. It has directly impacted our unit economics by eliminating all manual invoicing processes.

We at Somany Ceramics deal with a very large vendor base and running an invoice discounting program at scale is a big challenge and requires a lot of paper trail. Clear ID platform digitized our entire flow, their platform's seamless banking connectivity ensured that there are no manual movement of files. Now we run a multi-bank large-sized invoice discounting platform without any operational risk and the program is extended to all our vendor base. We would recommend Clear's solution to other Treasury and Finance teams for digitizing their supply chain financing processes
