This latest round of capital will be instrumental in driving AccessPay's focus on profitable growth while bolstering its commitment to increasing revenues in a sustainable manner. A significant portion of the funding round will be dedicated to AccessPay's Research and Development (R&D) work, ensuring continued value creation for its enterprise customers.

Beyond the capital investment, our operational partners - senior figures who have worked at Apple, ANS, Dr Marten's, AO, JD Sports and OSTC - will be lending extensive experience, advice and support to the team as we aim to back businesses with more than money.
"This investment underscores our commitment to backing Northern break-out successes and reiterates our desire to build strong relationships over time with the businesses we invest in. We look forward to partnering with Anish and the team on this exciting and innovative growth journey."
Over the last couple of years, the AccessPay team has made several senior hires, and expanded geographically beyond the U.K., including mainland Europe and the United States via partnerships with Sage and Finastra.
