Yes thats correct clearbank would be able to offer this.
this is a requirement from BOE
An alternative model is for stablecoins used in systemic payment systems to be backed by deposits placed with, and safeguarded by, one or more commercial banks. In this model, the issuer would have no direct relationship with the central bank, though the safeguarding banks holding the backing assets would be able to access central bank liquidity.
This would be similar to the backing model that is primarily used by firms that issue electronic money (so-called ‘e-money’) in the UK and EU. The FCA is considering allowing non-systemic stablecoins to be backed with short-term cash deposits (ie deposits with commercial banks), alongside short-term government bonds.footnote[45]
