Founders & story · from Clearent’s own dossier

Founded in 2005 as a transparent payment processor for financial institutions and SMBs, Clearent expanded its reach through a merger with Transaction Services Group in 2021 to form Xplor Technologies. The company evolved from a standalone processor into an embedded payments platform targeting vertical SaaS ISVs, particularly in dental, medical aesthetics, and field services. In 2025, it launched Xplor Capital (via Parafin) to extend into embedded lending, and rebranded the U.S. payments business to Xplor Pay — signaling a strategic shift toward PayFac-as-a-Service and full embedded finance infrastructure for software platforms.
