FinTech North Announce Renewal of Long-Standing Partnership with AccessPay



FinTech North is delighted to announce the renewal of our long-standing partnership with Manchester-based payments automation specialists, AccessPay. This renewed collaboration marks another exciting chapter in our journey together.

Earlier this year, we worked together with AccessPay to bring a focused virtual audience together for a webinar on ‘Increasing Operational Resilience,’ offering valuable insights into the criticality of operational resilience in navigating the dynamic and evolving financial environment.

Looking ahead, we are thrilled to share that AccessPay will return as brand sponsors at FinTech North’s flagship Manchester Conference in Q4. Their sponsorship will align with our key themes of data, accessibility, AI, payments, and regulation. As part of their involvement, AccessPay will also deliver a keynote address at the Manchester Conference, further enriching the event with their expertise.

In addition to the Manchester Conference, we are excited to have had AccessPay speak at our debut Northern FinTech Summit in York last week. This brand-new event was a significant milestone for FinTech North, bringing together industry leaders and innovators from across the North. Neil Kay Jones, Product Manager at AccessPay spoke as part of a panel titled ‘What will Drive FinTech Innovation 2025-2028?” touching on the importance of regulation in raising the bar for operational resilience in the sector.

Furthermore, our collaboration with AccessPay will include a dedicated FinTech North event focused on resilience and automation, with the format to be determined. Through this partnership, we are proud to support and amplify AccessPay’s efforts in driving growth and innovation within the Northern FinTech ecosystem.

By fostering a collaborative environment, AccessPay facilitates the exchange of ideas among startups, scale-ups, and industry leaders, while tackling key challenges such as automation and efficiency, the adoption of ISO 20022, and strengthening operational resilience. We will also continue to share AccessPay news stories and content directly with our community, ensuring their insights reach a broad audience.

We look forward to another successful year of partnership with AccessPay, driving innovation and growth within the fintech community.

“AccessPay’s partnership with FinTech North is part of our longstanding commitment to a thriving community of emerging FinTech businesses in the North. FinTech North offer a brilliant platform for the startups and scale-ups of the region to collaborate and learn from one another, and we’re thrilled to contribute to this through sharing our founder’s story, innovative product strategies, and insights into emerging regulations and market opportunities. We’re looking forward to another year of partnership and knowledge exchange.”

— Maja Rissmann, Marketing Director at AccessPay
