The story

Kiyanpay Ltd started in 2018 as a UK-based money transfer business. It has since pivoted toward a consumer 'social money' app under the Kixy brand, positioning as a challenger-style app where chats and payments coexist (bill splitting, P2P settle-up). The full financial services platform is described as 'soon-to-be-launched,' meaning most infrastructure disclosures are still forward-looking.
