Kani, the global data reconciliation and reporting company, is taking part in the FIS Fintech Accelerator 2023,  a programme identifying and advancing fintech firms with high potential to scale globally.

In each cohort, the FIS Fintech Accelerator selects 10 innovative companies and entrepreneurs from around the world that are on a mission to shape the future of fintech. In collaboration with The Venture Center, FIS provides members with mentorship from fintech experts as well as access to the FIS network.

Throughout the ongoing 12-week programme, Kani Payments has been engaging with bankers, subject matter experts, and financial service executives to enhance and advance its offering and growth plans. In addition, financial institution leaders are visiting Kani Payments to help refine its product models to suit customer needs.

Aaron Holmes, CEO at Kani Payments, commented: “Joining the FIS Fintech Accelerator is the latest exciting stepping stone in what’s already been an impressive and successful story for our ambitious company. We’re proud of our progress so far and are excited to be able to further develop our offering and charge into new markets and territories with the support, insight, and knowledge we will gain from the team at FIS and the Venture Center as part of this programme.

“We are certain that the insights we will gain from the FIS Fintech Accelerator will be invaluable, not only to Kani Payments, but also to our existing and prospective customers who have come to rely on the efficiencies created by our unique platform. We strive to save even more businesses vast amounts of time, and help them to tackle the problem of the increasingly complex digital payments, regulation, and compliance requirements so that they can spend more time focusing on building superb fintech products and services.”

Kani Payments also joined the Mastercard Start Path Global programme in 2022 - around 1,500 startups annually are evaluated for entry to the programme, which has only a two per cent acceptance rate.

Its platform imports and normalises complex raw data files in differing formats from various sources to then create business-critical payments reporting, including user-friendly reports and accurate, timely reconciliations. Kani Payments’ reconciliation software also integrates directly with its clients’ third-party processing platforms, and is backed by friendly, in-depth payments expertise support to help solve clients’ data queries.
