PayPoint announced a new partnership with the leading bank integration provider AccessPay, to integrate PayPoint’s Confirmation of Payee (CoP) capability into AccessPay’s payments automation suite for modern finance teams.

With £258 million 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.

Anish Kapoor, chief executive officer of AccessPay, said: “Our customers want to automate high-volume, high-value payments with confidence, knowing robust safeguards are built directly into their processes. 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 of payments at PayPoint, said: “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.
