Kani named in the inaugural Payments Power 50

We’re proud to share that Kani Payments has been recognised as one of the 40 most innovative companies in the global payments ecosystem, as part of the inaugural Payments Power 50 list.

Created in partnership with Payments Cards & Mobile—the global hub for payments news and market intelligence—the Payments Power 50 highlights the most forward-thinking players in fintech, fraud, AI, ID and payment infrastructure.

The annual guide is designed to provoke conversation, celebrate innovation and shine a light on the companies and individuals actively shaping the future of the payments industry. From established leaders to emerging disruptors, the Payments Power 50 brings together a diverse group of brands and changemakers transforming how value moves around the world.

“This recognition is a testament to the incredible work our team is doing to simplify payment reconciliation and regulatory reporting for modern financial institutions. Being named among the top innovators in payments is not only an honour—it reflects the growing urgency for smarter, faster solutions across the industry,” said Aaron Holmes, CEO of Kani Payments.

Kani Payments’ inclusion in the list follows the release of its 2025 Payments Reconciliation and Reporting Survey, which revealed that:

  • 56% of businesses still rely on spreadsheets for core reporting
  • Businesses spend 3 hours just preparing data before the reconciliation process can begin
  • Challenges with accurate data matching stem from cross-currency transactions, multiple payment channels and high transaction volumes

With increasing regulatory pressure, transaction volume and operational complexity, Kani’s SaaS platform is helping institutions reconcile data across issuers, schemes, processors and acquirers in minutes—not weeks.

We’re honoured to stand alongside our peers on the Power 50 list and remain committed to building reconciliation and reporting solutions that power the next generation of the global payments sector.
