The summer is over, the nights are drawing in, and you are probably thinking about how dishearteningly close Halloween and Christmas are getting...

Let us cheer you up with an unique opportunity to hear from Andrew Smith, the CTO of ClearBank, the first clearing bank in 250 years on how they disrupted the banking industry in the UK with their use of cloud.

ClearBank® is the UK's first new clearing bank in more than 250 years. It is creating a new level of open competition and transparency within the UK financial services marketplace.

Andrew is responsible for the core company technologies, designed and developed along with all other supporting technologies and technical integrations. This includes all aspects of IT infrastructure for internal and external use, all core banking software designed and developed here in the UK by ClearBank®

He is also responsible for the collection and presentation of key data back to all areas of the company and its directors.

He works closely with RISK, Legal, Operations, Finance and ensure all our technology focussed regulatory obligations are met.

In this talk Andrew will talk about how ClearBank built the bank on Microsoft Azure, how the cloud has given them a competitive advantage, the technology stacks they use and their approach to designing and developing systems in Azure. One not to be missed!

We will be meeting from 18:30 for drinks and networking, 19:00 we will kick off the talk. There will of course be pizza and opportunities to chat as well afterwards!
