AccessPay Appoints Johan Jardevall As Chief Executive Officer

The leadership change follows AccessPay’s recent majority investment from Accel-KKR and marks a new phase of growth for the fintech company.

Jardevall brings more than 25 years of experience leading enterprise software and SaaS businesses across Europe and the UK. Most recently, he served as CEO of Person Centred Software, where he oversaw a period of significant operational and commercial expansion.

Since becoming CEO in 2014, Kapoor has guided AccessPay’s transformation from an early-stage business into a leading fintech infrastructure provider serving organisations in more than 100 countries.

Under his leadership, the company developed its bank integration platform, strengthened its position in the treasury and payments market, and built long-term relationships with finance and treasury teams navigating payment complexity, fraud prevention, and regulatory changes such as ISO 20022.

As Chairman, Kapoor will continue to work closely with the management team and board on mergers and acquisitions, product strategy, and strategic partnerships, while remaining a major shareholder.

AccessPay said it will continue investing in product innovation, customer support, bank connectivity, fraud and error prevention capabilities, and ISO 20022 transformation services as it expands its platform and customer base.

The company believes the leadership transition will support its next stage of growth as demand for finance automation, payment connectivity, and treasury technology continues to increase.

Anish Kapoor, outgoing CEO and incoming chairman of AccessPay, said, “Following Accel-KKR’s recent investment, now is the right time to bring in a leader with deep experience in scaling software businesses to lead the company’s next phase of maturity and operational growth.”

Johan Jardevall, incoming CEO of AccessPay, said, “AccessPay has built a highly compelling proposition. By helping CFOs automate and secure the movement of money across their organisations, it enables finance and treasury teams to operate more efficiently, scale with confidence, and take on a more strategic, forward-looking role within the business.”
