How are payments secured?

The MCP uses RSA-SHA256 PEM digital signatures. Vinkius uses your private key to sign every capability call, ensuring the clearing server authenticates the request.

Can I send large payments?

Yes. You can use the CHAPS capability for high-value transfers that require settlement through the Bank of England.

How fast are Faster Payments?

Faster Payments (FPS) settle within seconds during operational hours.

What happens if I need to stop a transaction?

You can use the account suspension capability to immediately freeze an account and prevent all inbound and outbound transfers.

Do I need to manage the API keys myself?

Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages the credentials, so you only need to connect your client once.

ClearBank requires complex Body RSA Signatures, how does the prompt handle that?

We handle that completely in the background Engine! The Vinkius runtime grabs your static RSA Private Key from configurations. Every payload created by the Language Model is injected into the Hash, signed, base64 encoded and attached to the HTTP header automatically.

Can the AI Agent manage BACS/CHAPS limits inside ClearBank?

Yes! The core capabilities natively target both low-latency FPS (Faster Payments) and massive-liquidity CHAPS protocols natively exposed via ClearBank clearing ledgers.

Are Virtual Accounts actively provisioned by the Agent?

The capability clearbank_create_account pushes an instant request spinning up a routing footprint with its own independent balance ledgers.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

One connector, every AI

ClearBank UK works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put ClearBank UK to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
