Kani Payments has been named one of The Most Influential Financial Technology Firms of 2025 by Harrington Starr, as featured in the latest edition of The Financial Technologist.
Following a record-breaking number of nominations, the judging panel selected the firms they believe are leading the charge in shaping the future of financial technology—through product innovation, market impact and long-term growth potential.
We’re honoured to be recognised alongside industry leaders who are transforming the fintech ecosystem with purpose, progress and meaningful impact.
“This recognition reflects the real-world challenges we’re helping financial institutions solve every day,” said Aaron Holmes, CEO of Kani Payments. “Whether it’s automating regulatory reporting or simplifying complex reconciliation workflows, our platform exists to give finance teams clarity, speed and control over their data.”
Kani’s inclusion in the list follows growing attention around its role in modernising reconciliation for fast-scaling fintechs. In our latest payments reconciliation survey of UK-based issuers, acquirers, processors and e-money institutions, we found:
- 44% still rely on spreadsheets for data reconciliation and reporting
- 82% struggle to deliver financial and regulatory reports on time
- Businesses face routine challenges with cross-currency transactions and managing data across multiple payment channels
Kani has developed a cutting-edge automated platform to address these challenges and help scaling fintechs take control of their data. Our solutions allow organisations to freely reconcile across card networks, processors and geographies without manual data work. The result: faster reporting, greater audit readiness and more time spent on strategy, not spreadsheets.
We’d like to thank Harrington Starr and the judging panel for the recognition—and extend our gratitude to our clients, partners and brilliant team whose hard work and vision made this possible.
