How Lune's Enrichment Engine Empowers MENA’s Financial Institutions with Local Merchant Identification

As the financial landscape in the MENA region keeps progressing, both financial institutions and their users demand more accurate, efficient, and relevant sources of transactional data. 

To address this need, we've enhanced our enrichment engine to support local merchant identification within the MENA region, allowing financial institutions to categorize their transactional data from a wider range of relevant sources instead of the generic labels that most competitors offer. Our engine is capable of enriching data from any source in a matter of seconds.

The Power of Local Merchant Identification


One of the key challenges faced by financial institutions in MENA is accurately identifying and categorizing transactions based on specific local merchant names. 

While most financial institutions provide vague transactional info, our enrichment engine goes a step further by identifying local merchants by their specific brand names. This results in clearer and more accurate data, which in turn enables financial institutions to provide better insights and services to their customers.

How it Works

For example, consider a user who just bought an item from Bloomingdale's in Dubai Mall - most POS machines might only categorize the transactions under the mother company, such as "Al Tayer Group" or "Department Store," while Lune's engine would clearly identify the transactions as "Bloomingdale's" along with the right logo and detailed merchant info. This level of detail makes a world of difference for customers and financial institutions alike.

The Speed of Lune's Latest Enrichment Engine


Our enrichment engine is designed to process and categorize transactional data at an impressive pace. With the help of advanced machine learning and AI algorithms, our engine can accurately categorize and enrich financial data with local merchant details in just seconds. 

This rapid processing allows financial institutions to access the information they need to serve their users more efficiently, without compromising on accuracy or detail.

How Lune's Engine Benefits the MENA Financial Ecosystem
