The Israeli company’s technology can help recuperate some of the $800 billion lost due to incorrectly declined payments

Kipp (formerly known as Kenbi), an Israeli fintech company that helps banks, card issues, and merchants approve transactions that may be denied in real-time, has announced that it has raised $5 million in Seed. The round was led by TLV Partners with participation from Entrée Capital, Izba, and R-Squared Ventures, and comes at the same time that the company has joined MasterCard and Enel’s FinSec Lab.
