World-leading private equity investor Accel-KKR has acquired a majority stake in AccessPay.
The deal for the Manchester FinTech realises an exit for Maven Capital Partners.
AccessPay, a bank integration and payment automation provider, said the deal – for an undisclosed sum – opens the door for it to pursue growth via strategic acquisitions.
AccessPay was founded in Manchester by Ali Moiyed as the first cloud-based BACS software in the UK. In 2014 Anish Kapoor joined as CEO and has led the business since that moment. He will continue as CEO following the fresh investment.
Kapoor was previously the co-founder and CEO of Yuuguu, a remote desktop tool which he exited to telecommunications firm Powwownow in 2010.
