Lumina Americas

Established in 2001 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Lumina Americas is a consulting and technology services provider specializing in the financial sector. The company's origins can be traced back to a spin-off of JPMorgan's Latin American Regional Application Development Team. This foundation provided the firm with deep-seated expertise in financial technology and the specific demands of the region's markets. In July 2022, Lumina Americas was acquired by Matba Rofex, a leading futures exchange in Latin America, a move intended to accelerate Matba Rofex's strategy of providing infrastructure and solutions to capital markets across the region.

Lumina Americas develops, implements, and supports mission-critical software solutions for the financial services industry in Latin America, with offices in Argentina and Mexico, and a representation in Spain. The company serves a diverse client base that includes investment banking brokers, private and retail banks, fund managers, and fintech companies. Its business model revolves around providing a suite of adaptable and scalable financial software platforms that can be customized to meet specific client needs. Revenue is generated through the licensing of its software, along with fees for implementation, customization, and ongoing support services. The firm also collaborates with a network of system integration partners like Accenture, Deloitte, and Softtek to deploy its solutions in complex environments.

The company's core offering is a comprehensive platform of software modules designed to cover the full spectrum of financial industry operations. Key solutions include tools for sales and trading, operations, treasury and finance, risk and P&L management, private banking, custody, fund distribution, e-trading, and portfolio management. One of its notable products, Lumina Treasury, is a front-office trading and portfolio management solution that handles everything from cash flow administration and risk management to P&L calculation for a wide array of financial instruments, including derivatives and local Latin American products. The platform is built to be flexible, allowing for modular deployment—either on-premises, in a private or public cloud, or as a PaaS model—and seamless integration with a client's existing architecture via a wide range of APIs.
