IPC and Luware have partnered to offer Luware Recording to financial institutions, expanding access to cloud-based compliance recording for regulated organisations.
The agreement brings Luware Recording into IPC's communications environment for trading, enterprise voice and collaboration tools. The service is intended to help firms capture and retain communications across voice and digital channels as more activity moves into hybrid and cloud-based systems.
Financial institutions face growing pressure to keep records across an expanding mix of communications platforms. Rules including MiFID II, Dodd-Frank and FCA requirements have raised expectations around the capture, storage and supervisory review of conversations and messages linked to regulated activity.
Luware Recording is designed to record communications across several enterprise platforms and deployment models. It can be used in multi-tenant and private-tenant set-ups, with storage managed either by customers or hosted by Luware.
The platform also includes artificial intelligence tools for automatic conduct risk detection and persona-based summaries. Those functions sit alongside retention and supervisory features aimed at compliance teams.
IPC said the partnership aligns with its broader focus on compliance and communications infrastructure for the financial sector. By adding Luware's service, it aims to expand the recording options available to clients operating across trading floors and wider enterprise environments.
Luware, headquartered in Zurich, says it serves more than 1,500 organisations. Its recording platform is used to capture and archive voice, video, screen sharing and instant messaging across communications systems used by regulated businesses.
Oversight demands
Maintaining oversight has become harder as firms spread communications across fixed-line voice, mobile, collaboration software and cloud services. For banks, brokers and other regulated groups, that creates a challenge not only in preserving records but also in making them available for internal review and regulatory scrutiny.
Luware Recording will sit within IPC's global connectivity infrastructure. The integration is intended to let clients apply a single recording layer across interconnected trading and enterprise communications, without relying on separate tools for different channels.
"At IPC, our strategy is built around Compliance, Connectivity, and Community," said Vimal Vel, Chief Product Officer, IPC.
"This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver scalable, regulation-ready recording across modern communications environments. As firms adopt new technologies, they must maintain consistent oversight, and we are enabling that with confidence and resilience," Vel said.
Luware described the arrangement as a way to extend its reach in heavily regulated sectors, where communications records are a core part of governance and market supervision. The partnership combines its cloud-based recording and analytics with IPC's network in financial markets.
"Luware Recording is designed for highly regulated industries. By combining IPC's global connectivity with our cloud-based capture and analytics, clients gain a single compliance layer across all trader voice and collaboration platforms," said Alex Grafetsberger, Chief Business Officer, Luware Recording.
IPC has operated in financial market communications for more than 50 years and provides services spanning trading communications, electronic trading, data and analytics, and infrastructure services. The Luware partnership is available to its clients worldwide.
