History
Clearhaus was founded in 2011 and started by developing technology and processes to handle online payments. In 2015, they got their Visa and Mastercard license, went live and got their first customer. By the end of the year, the company had achieved a market share of 10% in Denmark. At the end of 2017, the company had 7,500 customers and 20% of the Danish market. Today, more than 80% of sales come from outside Denmark.

In 2017, Clearhaus bought 33% of the Danish bank Københavns Andelskasse (under the control of Finansiel Stabilitet) to close the gap between redemption and traditional banking.

At the beginning of 2018, Clearhaus joined forces with the payment gateway QuickPay to offer Apple Pay as a payment method to the Danish web shops.
