By Gloria Methri

AccessPay, the bank integration provider, has announced the launch of its consulting arm to help organisations transform their payments, collections and treasury functions. This offering led by newly appointed Karen Fagan, Head of Treasury Consultancy Services, will leverage her extensive experience from her previous role at ITV. Fagan will assume the role of subject matter expert (SME) for AccessPay’s cash management solutions, advising on strategic treasury solutions both internally and to the company’s clients.

Working closely with commercial teams, the new consultancy service will educate businesses on how bank integration can provide the cash visibility they need without investing in an expensive treasury management system. It will demonstrate the practical applications of AccessPay’s solutions and advise on how different organisations can optimise their cash management practices cost-effectively.

Anish Kapoor, CEO of AccessPay, said, “Karen’s appointment marks a significant step in our strategy to expand AccessPay’s consultancy services and give clients unparalleled support in their financial transformation projects. This is a truly cross-functional role, supporting multiple areas across the business and Karen’s experience on the client side gives her a unique perspective that will be invaluable as we continue to grow and refine our offerings. We are thrilled to have her on board and look forward to the impact she will make on our consultancy services and client success.”

One of Fagan’s key responsibilities will be to collaborate with stakeholders across the business on AccessPay’s ISO 20022 proposition. She will lead the development and delivery of training sessions aimed at helping clients understand and implement the new standard while ensuring AccessPay exceeds client expectations during this industry-wide transition.

Karen Fagan, Head of Treasury Consultancy Services, AccessPay, said, “I have been the SME on many transformation projects over the years, many of which had AccessPay at the core. Whether it is implementing a cash pool, an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) tool, bank reconciliation automation, or Treasury Management Software (TMS), transformation projects need bank connectivity. I wanted to continue working on treasury-related technology projects, and when this opportunity with AccessPay came up, it was the perfect fit.”
