Now in their landmark 2025 edition, the FF Awards are recognised across the global fintech sector for celebrating genuine excellence in financial services, where entries are judged purely on innovation and impact. Finalists were selected through public voting by FF News subscribers, with winners to be announced at a live ceremony on 25th November 2025 at Old Billingsgate, London.

We’re proud to be named alongside fellow innovators pushing the boundaries of real-time infrastructure, compliance and operational excellence.

Real-time payments, real-time reconciliation

Kani helps payments businesses make sense of their data in real time. Our platform is purpose-built to reconcile high-volume, multi-source transaction flows across issuers, acquirers, schemes and processors—with real-time logic, automated exception handling and full audit traceability baked in.

With the rise of real-time payments, reconciliation must evolve from an end-of-day process to an always-on, always-accurate control mechanism. Kani’s reconciliation engine processes transaction data as it lands, enabling faster reporting, instant exception alerts and continuous compliance across complex payment environments.

From instant card transactions to real-time settlement data, we provide a unified view that removes manual overhead, strengthens financial control and gives teams confidence in their numbers.

Whether it’s scheme reporting, operational finance or transaction monitoring, our tools help firms stay ahead in a world where real-time expectations are now the baseline.

This nomination comes during a standout year for Kani, having already been named FinTech of the Year at the Brit FinTech Awards and awarded Best Data & Analytics Initiative by The Digital Banker.

With growing regulatory demands and rising transaction volumes, more organisations are turning to Kani to help them automate reconciliation, reduce risk and unlock real-time insight from their payments data.
