Semantic Transaction Enrichment
Payment authorization payloads contain cryptic merchant descriptor strings: truncated, typo-ridden, and semantically meaningless to traditional keyword matchers. A fine-tuned LFM2-350M parses these in under 35ms, normalizing merchant names, classifying categories, and extracting locations inline during the authorization hot-path.
The Problem
'SQ *JOES CFF SHP NY': regex can't parse this. Plaid Enrich covers 90%+ but is a cloud API outside the 50ms auth window.
How LFM Compares
Regex can't parse messy merchant descriptors like 'SQ *JOES CFF SHP NY.' Cloud enrichment APIs add latency outside the auth window. LFM parses semantically at <35ms, on-prem.
What LFM Unlocks
Semantic merchant parsing at <35ms, inside the auth window. No cloud round-trip. New POS formats via LEAP in minutes.

Merchant Descriptor Parsing
Card networks limit merchant descriptors to 22 characters — truncated, abbreviated, and cryptic. Traditional keyword matching loses the semantic meaning. Select a descriptor below to see semantic parsing in action.
