Accel-KKR led the majority investment to support product development and strategic acquisitions.
AccessPay provides bank integration and payment automation services to help enterprise clients transform their finance operations. The firm connects back office finance systems to banks to deliver clean payment and bank statement data.
Manchester-based AccessPay has secured a majority investment from Accel-KKR to scale its operations and pursue strategic acquisitions. The funding enables the bank integration and payment automation provider to meet growing demand from enterprise clients navigating finance transformation and AI readiness. Royal Park Partners acted as the exclusive strategic and financial advisor to AccessPay on the transaction.

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."
