AccessPay, a bank integration and payment automation provider, has secured a majority investment from Accel-KKR, a global private equity firm specialising in enterprise technology and software companies.
AccessPay helps organisations drive finance transformation and achieve AI readiness by connecting back office finance systems to banks, providing clean, structured payment, and bank statement data required for automation.
With the financial backing from Accel-KKR, AccessPay says that it is positioned to meet increasing demand from enterprise organisations, where the ability to deliver services reliably at scale is essential.
Phil Cunningham, managing director at Accel-KKR, says: “AccessPay plays a crucial role in helping to optimise finance operations, increasing automation, improving cash visibility, and reducing the risk of fraud and error.
“It also has a reputation for delivering outstanding customer service. The company aligns closely with our portfolio of investments, delivering mission-critical solutions to the office of the chief financial officer, and we look forward to supporting CEO Anish Kapoor and his team.”
Anish Kapoor, CEO of AccessPay, adds: “As a scale-up business preparing for its next growth phase, AccessPay was looking for an investor with a track record in enterprise software investment. Accel-KKR was the standout choice for us thanks to its experience in technology investing and domain expertise.
“Its backing not only means we can innovate at scale, but, as a platform investment, opens the door to pursue accelerated growth through acquisition. We are confident in what both firms can develop together and the role we can play in shaping the future of finance and treasury operations.”
