Established in 2020 by Helal Tariq Lootah and Alexandre Soued, Lune facilitates the conversion of transaction data from clients into actionable insights for banks, fintechs, and other financial organisations.

Lune’s transaction data enrichment solution automatically sorts customer transactions into groups and subgroups, finds the brand, and adds the brand’s logo to make the data easier for users to explore.

An illustration of this would be a neobank that integrates Lune’s solution via an API into their application. Neobank users would observe that each transaction is automatically categorised, subcategorized, and has brand logos added to it. With each transaction being classified, non-visual data that was previously uncategorized is transformed into visual data.

Additionally, the business lets its clients integrate money management features into their apps so that users can monitor their spending, create budgets, and establish financial objectives.

By converting client data into insights, the business not only provides these user-facing products but also enables financial institutions to discover valuable information and trends. Forecasting trends and analysing credit risk are two applications for the findings.

The firm now provides services to customers in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, according to a statement from Lune. It currently intends to extend its services to Egypt, Oman, Qatar, and Kuwait. Without providing any specifics, the statement went on, An upcoming partnership with a major GCC payments company is poised to significantly amplify Lune’s reach and impact within the region.
