Maven Capital Partners has exited its investment in AccessPay, a Manchester-based payments software company, selling the business to Accel-KKR. The transaction delivered a 2.5x return for the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund I (NPIF I), which Maven led. AccessPay's software bridges back-office finance systems with banks, providing critical connectivity for financial operations.

The deal underscores Accel-KKR's expanding footprint in the fintech sector and Maven's successful portfolio management. Accel-KKR and 2.5x return are key outcomes highlighting the deal's value and strategic significance for both parties.
