Description

Clerq is a Series A financial technology startup based in New York City. The company’s next generation payments platform delivers a seamless checkout experience for high-ticket transactions.

Leveraging modern bank rails, the platform offers the conversion and UX benefits of cards with risk and money movement infrastructure purpose-built for large purchases.
