AccessPay and Finastra to deliver corporate-to-bank connectivity

This partnership aims to strengthen corporate relationships by enabling banks to offer direct payments’ connectivity to a broader range of corporate customers. Finance teams within corporates will have typically time-consuming and manual processes automated, as banks will now be able to offer simplified connectivity to their corporate customers through means of enterprise resource planning (ERP), payroll/human capital management (HCM) system, treasury management system (TMS) and other back-office systems. 

The embedded business banking functionality is available via Finastra’s FusionFabric.cloud platform and the AccessPay app which, to enable quick deployment and ease of implementation, connects to Finastra’s Fusion Global PAYplus and Fusion Payments To Go payment solutions.

AccessPay officials have stated in the press release that as of now, only the largest corporate customers benefit from direct connections for payments with their banks, as the implementation is time-consuming and challenging. Furthermore, they also added that their company vision is to simplify the integration between corporate finance systems and the banks, removing the complexities associated with this process, the partnership marking a step forward in their vision of bringing simplified corporate-to-bank connectivity.

The Finastra partnership is set to enable corporate-to-bank connectivity to everyone, while simultaneously helping the corporate to be protected from the complexities associated with data transformation and time to operation expediting. Finastra representatives added that the AccessPay joint solution will allow corporates and business customers alike to benefit from a digitalised end-to-end payment transaction, with the company’s open payment solutions and ecosystem of collaborative fintechs believed to help financial institutions in modernizing their payments services, driving innovation, and creating business value for customers.
