NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, UK – April 29 2025 – Kani Payments, the leading provider of reporting, reconciliation and compliance software, today announces a strategic partnership with UK travel paytech company, Swiipr. The partnership will enhance Swiipr’s back-office scalability, underpinning the platform’s expansion and development of new infrastructure as it partners with major airlines worldwide.
Swiipr, a global payments platform that allows airlines and ground handlers to issue real-time flight delay, compensation and operational payments directly to passengers’ and airline staff’s phones and wallets, has helped passengers from over 137 airlines in over 76 countries across more than 200 airports.
To support its rapid growth and manage growing data volumes, Swiipr will use Kani’s solution to automate data reconciliation and reporting processes from end to end. The platform seamlessly standardises and consolidates multi-source payment data into a single view for easy analysis, while bespoke reporting outputs provide tailored insights for individual airlines.
“As we expand our services to more and more major airlines globally, having a partner with Kani’s data expertise is invaluable,” said Tara Spielhagen, CEO of Swiipr. “Their specialised knowledge in payment data management further cements our commitment to our airline and ground-handling partners on the importance of scalable data insights in driving both actionable internal MI and reporting as well as customer personalisation and loyalty”.
The partnership marks Kani’s first in the airline compensation space, a sector historically burdened by inefficient legacy systems. This represents another key milestone following a multi-million-pound Series A investment led by Maven Capital Partners.
“Our partnership with Swiipr exemplifies what Kani is all about – enabling innovative businesses to scale through effective data management,” said Aaron Holmes, CEO and Founder of Kani Payments. “This collaboration supports our growth strategy for 2025 as we expand Kani’s technology into exciting new sectors where we can add real value”.
Kani Payments’ platform directly addresses the complex reporting and reconciliation challenges faced by payment service providers across various sectors. This expansion into airline compensation demonstrates the versatility of Kani’s technology and its ability to deliver value in specialised payment ecosystems.
