LONDON, Sept. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exela Technologies, Inc. (“Exela”) (NASDAQ: XELA, XELAP) today announced a new customer, ClearBank, an enabler of secure accounts, real-time clearing and embedded banking for financial institutions. Exela will provide its XBP™ platform and processing services, enabling connectivity to Pay.UK’s interbank Image Clearing System (ICS).
