AccessPay Partners With PayPoint to Strengthen Fraud and Error Prevention for
Corporate Payments

MANCHESTER, UK / ACCESS Newswire / March 3, 2026 / AccessPay
(https://pr.report/j0lw) , the leading bank integration provider, today
announced a new partnership with PayPoint (https://pr.report/j0lx)  to
integrate PayPoint's Confirmation of Payee (CoP) capability into AccessPay's
payments automation suite for modern finance teams. With £258m lost to
authorised push payment (APP) fraud in the first half of 2025 alone,
organisations need access to robust payment controls that scale with their
operations.(1) PayPoint's CoP offering enables AccessPay's customers to
verify payee account details as part of their payment workflows, reinforcing
AccessPay's position at the centre of a growing ecosystem of technologies
designed to automate and de-risk the Office of the CFO.

CoP, also known as Account Name Verification (ANV), is a valuable anti-fraud
measure that checks the accuracy of payee details before funds are sent. It
can be used to confirm payee details at the point of collection, when creating
a payment instruction, or both. PayPoint's CoP capability is designed to
handle peak-usage scenarios for corporate clients, including payroll runs,
supplier payments, and seasonal spikes, and is recognised for its ability to
process exceptionally high transaction volumes. Additionally, it provides
flexible access options, including APIs, user interface and bulk processing,
enabling organisations at different stages of their automation journey to
embed account name verification seamlessly into existing processes.

"Our customers want to automate high-volume, high-value payments with
confidence, knowing robust safeguards are built directly into their
processes," commented Anish Kapoor, CEO of AccessPay. "PayPoint is recognised
for delivering payment and fraud services at a national scale. By partnering
with them, we are strengthening the fraud and error protections available
within the AccessPay platform while improving operational efficiency by
reducing payment resubmissions, exception handling and manual intervention.
The service is already available to customers and has been positively received
since we began working together in 2025."

Jo Toolan, Managing Director Payments, PayPoint, added, "AccessPay sits at the
centre of modern finance operations, securely connecting businesses to their
banks and enabling automated payment flows at scale. Partnering with AccessPay
allows us to extend our CoP capability to thousands of finance teams that are
actively transforming how they manage payments. Together, we're helping
organisations reduce fraud risk, minimise payment errors, and deliver more
secure, trusted payment experiences."

The PayPoint partnership reinforces AccessPay's commitment to expanding its
technology ecosystem to help finance and treasury teams automate securely,
reduce manual intervention, and build resilient, future-ready payment
operations. By combining AccessPay's bank integration platform with PayPoint's
payment and fraud prevention expertise, organisations gain stronger protection
against fraud while unlocking greater efficiency and confidence in automated
finance processes.
