About us
We provide modern payment solutions to businesses across Europe
What do we do?
Clearhaus is an acquiring company that provides payment solutions to businesses across Europe. We offer online, mobile, and POS acquiring (Point of Sale) for in-store payments, as well as Payment Facilitator solutions that enable platforms and financial institutions to integrate acquiring directly into their own products. Our goal is to make payments simple, secure, and efficient – whether they take place online, on mobile devices, or in physical stores.
When we started in 2011, our mission was to challenge and transform the online payments market. We succeeded, and since onboarding our first customer in 2015, we’ve grown explosive. Today, we process transactions for more than 42,000 webshops across Europe – ranging from small startups to large, established businesses. We also collaborate with 90 partners across Europe and aim to attract more technical partners in the European market.
CEOs: Pascal Beij, Francois Vachon

That’s why our entire culture and structure are built around innovation.
Our development has enabled us to:
- Run our own infrastructure

- Offer a comprehensive API
- Provide a dashboard with clear insights
- Offer Slack support, sandbox environments, and online API documentation
On the path to Unified Commerce
In 2025, we expanded our business to include acquiring for in-store payments (POS). As an acquirer of physical payments, we are taking an important step towards bringing Unified Commerce to Denmark – an integrated ecosystem that brings together online, offline, and mobile payment channels in one seamless solution. Through POS acquiring, we help businesses gain stronger data insights, higher conversion rates, and greater operational efficiency.
