Fintech reporting and reconciliation company Kani Payments has tied up with card issuing and acquiring company Cardaq.
Cardaq has selected Kani for its data reporting SaaS platform. Specifically, Kani will provide Cardaq clients with regulatory and compliance reporting, reconciliations, QMR reporting, Mastercard fee and invoice analysis, as well as interchange and acquiring fee analysis. Kani’s technology helps businesses complete multiple weeks’ of complex transaction reporting and reconciliation work in under 30 seconds.
“The partnership between Kani Payments and Cardaq addresses significant industry challenges, including the implementation of automating reconciliations at pace, effective regulatory compliance, and fee apportioning. Ultimately, Kani Payments exists to help disruptive fintechs like Cardaq to thrive and grow with our automated data reporting and reconciliation platform that gives it the space it needs to scale,” said Kani Chief Commercial Officer Roger Binks. “By automating manual processes, improving reconciliation accuracy, and providing detailed reporting and analysis tools, we are enabling Cardaq to focus on giving its customers outstanding products and services. We are proud to do the heavy lifting of making complex data simple and standardized.”
The solution, which will initially be available to Cardaq’s U.K. customers, is scalable and offers the potential to expand via deeper integration, advanced reporting, and continuous regulatory compliance needs as Cardaq grows in the future. Cardaq expects that integrating Kani’s SaaS offering will help it comply with regulations and boost growth while providing a better solution for its customers.
Cardaq was founded in 2011 to offer tools to help businesses instantly accept and process payments anywhere across the globe. In addition to its acquiring services, the London-based company also offers card issuing services, allowing businesses to create customized payment cards. Businesses can choose from a full cycle of services, from card issuing to personalization and delivery.
“Kani Payments was the clear choice for us due to its comprehensive and customizable reporting tools, expertise in regulatory compliance, and the ability to automate complex financial reconciliations,” said Cardaq CEO Hugo Remi. “The option to immediately integrate with existing systems and manage a high volume of transactions were added benefits for us and our customers. We are confident that the implementation Kani’s solution will give all our customers a unique service level and the highest accuracy in financial reporting.”
Founded in 2018, Kani has since reconciled more than $26.5 billion (€24 billion) in processed payments volume for fintech players including Sodexo, Pismo, Earthchain, CLOWD9, and Frost. At FinovateSpring 2023, the U.K.-based company demoed how its reconciliation and reporting services automates back office finance processes for banks and fintechs.
In 2022, Kani was accepted into the Mastercard Start Path Global program, and a year later was selected to participate in the FIS Accelerator program as one of 10 high-potential fintech companies.
This partnership showcases how fintechs are relying on other third party players to leverage data reporting and reconciliation solutions to meet evolving regulatory demands. As regulations become increasingly complex, vague, and variable, Kani’s platform helps firms solve key challenges such as automating complex financial reconciliations, ensuring compliance, and providing cost-effective reporting solutions.
