Company History
Acupay was founded in 2005 by Robert Apfel. An innovative financier, his electronic book-entry system profoundly increased the efficiency of bond trading and helped change the economic landscape of the 1980s.
Acupay started as a solution to new beneficial owner reporting requirements in Spain introduced by Spanish Law 19/2003. The success of this solution facilitated continued expansion into other markets around the world with similar beneficial owner and reporting requirements. It has now grown into the tax compliance and reclaim agent for some of the largest issuers and investors in the world.
