Access MicrOpay is a supplier of integrated payroll and Human Capital Management people management software[1] and services to Australian and New Zealand businesses.

The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Access Group.

History

MicrOpay was established in 1985 to provide payroll and human capital management technology to businesses in Australia.[2]

The company was later purchased by the Commonwealth Bank in 1995, making it wholly owned by a major financial institution.[3]

In April 2002, MicrOpay was acquired by the large South African based accounting software vendor, Softline.[4] Softline had been well known for its earlier acquisition of international financial suite Accpac, formerly owned by Computer Associates. MicrOpay joined Softline's other Australian purchases, HandiSoft and Sybiz.[5]

Softline was itself acquired in November 2003 by the Sage Group, an FTSE 100 company with over 6 million customers and more than 12,600 employees worldwide.[6]

In 2006, MicrOpay acquired payroll and HR software provider Australian Flagship; who develop and market the Wage Easy payroll system.[7]

During 2021, The Access Group purchased the APAC operations of several Sage Group products, including MicrOpay. [8]

In Australia, Access MicrOpay is one of the largest payroll and HR vendors with a client base in excess of 6,000 enterprises across all sectors.[9]
