Lu Global uses facial recognition and AI for its investor onboarding process.

Lu International rolled out its online wealth management platform for accredited investors in Singapore and investors in Asia, an announcement revealed.

Through Lu Global, investors can have easy access to wealth management products that were previously available to mainly private banking and institutional clients. It has 15 products onboard, comprising a mixture of open-ended and closed-ended funds.

As a member of Ping An group, Lu Global will be utilising the group’s technology as the platform utilises a robust risk management system.

“Our technology will play an important role in opening up a fully automated wealth management tool to investors across Asia,” Ping An CIO Jessica Tan said.
