Manchester firm AccessPay grows partner network

Fintech scale-up AccessPay is expanding its partner network for 2021.

The Manchester-based firm is working with several software specialists and value-added re-sellers to expand market penetration and diversify revenue streams.

Muzulu, an enterprise resource planning (ERP) consultancy is the latest partner to sign up, alongside the likes of Gentrack, Xperience and Datel.

Together AccessPay and Muzulu will deliver an integrated solution to select clients who are using IFS Applications as their back-office system.

They trialed the partnership in 2020 by collaborating on a multi-bank solution for Globeleq, the leading independent power producer in Africa.

AccessPay provides the digital connection between a business’s back office systems and their bank.

This secure digital connection between ERP systems, like IFS, and over 16,000 banks and payment schemes worldwide, makes for a perfect partner.

With more than 1,000 customers across the UK and Europe, the AccessPay platform processes 200 million individual transactions every year and is growing.

Head of Partner and Market Development at AccessPay James Stockton said: “This marks a new phase in our journey to provide end-to-end payment and cash management solutions.

“Our partner approach, with industry leaders like Muzulu, offers their customer-base a fully integrated solution.

“Muzulu has seen the additional benefits that AccessPay can bring to their customers, both present and future, and we are excited to be partnering with such a high calibre consultancy.”

The AccessPay platform securely automates payment processes while providing an intelligent and clear interface for approval workflows and auditing.

Customers include ITV, AA and global manufacturer NSG.

The SAAS platform also provides real-time statement delivery and format transformation for accurate cash visibility and reconciliation.

Hamish Johnson, director of Muzulu, added: “Muzulu is pleased to announce an absolutely fantastic partnership with AccessPay.

“This partnership allows our customers to have a much stronger business solution with their global banking providers.

“From payment collection and transmission through to bank reconciliation this partnership helps Muzulu to deliver best practice and confidence to CFOs – ensuring cash flows are optimised and streamlined.”
