Kani Payments appoints new CTO

Newcastle-based Kani Payments has appointed Panos Savvas as chief technology officer following its recent Series A investment and continued international growth.

Panos brings over 20 years of experience leading engineering and product teams in fintech and banking across global markets. 

Most recently, he founded and exited a fintech venture focused on real-time financial data.

As chief technology officer, he will lead Kani’s technology strategy, focusing on scalability, real-time analytics and data quality. 

Panos said: “There’s a clear opportunity here to build the most trusted source of truth for payments data. 

“Kani already has a strong foundation, trusted partnerships and serious momentum. 

“My focus is on scaling what already works, embedding more deeply into client workflows and setting new standards for what intelligent payments infrastructure should deliver.”

Panos’ appointment supports Kani’s mission to become the go-to platform for intelligent, audit-ready payments reconciliation and reporting worldwide.

Aaron Holmes, chief executive of Kani Payments, added: “Panos brings the right mix of deep technical leadership, product vision and international experience. 

“He understands the complexity of financial infrastructure and how to make it scalable and resilient. 

“His appointment is a huge moment for Kani as we continue to grow.”
