Kani Payments has been included in TechRound’s FinTech50 2025—an annual list celebrating the most exciting and innovative fintech companies operating across the UK and Europe.
Now in its fifth year, the FinTech50 campaign recognises fintechs that are pushing boundaries, solving real-world problems and helping define the next era of financial technology. Featured companies span a wide range of specialisms, from payments and digital banking to lending, regtech, wealth management and infrastructure.
“To be recognised as one of the region’s most exciting fintechs is a testament to the real impact we’re having on how financial institutions manage complex data,” said Aaron Holmes, CEO of Kani Payments. “We’re proud to be building a product that brings clarity and speed to reconciliation and reporting, while scaling in a way that keeps customer value at the centre.”
The recognition comes at a pivotal moment in Kani’s growth journey. In early 2025, the Newcastle-headquartered fintech secured a multi-million-pound Series A investment from Maven Capital Partners, fuelling the ongoing innovation of its payment reconciliation platform.
Meanwhile, in 2024 alone, Kani:
- Onboarded 10 new clients
- Grew its team by 25%, reaching 30 full-time employees
- Was named Payments Compliance Technology of the Year at the 2024 Payments Awards
Today, Kani’s technology is trusted by global payment leaders including TransactPay, Swiipr, Cardaq and Moorwand, helping them launch, scale and optimise operations with confidence.
Behind that growth is a platform designed specifically for the complex, fast-moving world of financial data. Kani automates reconciliation and reporting across issuers, schemes, processors and acquirers—removing operational bottlenecks and giving teams real-time access to the insights they need. Card scheme reports like the Mastercard QMR and Visa GOC, once manual and time-consuming, are now completed in seconds—freeing up hundreds of hours annually and ensuring full compliance and audit readiness.
