We typically start with robo-advisory and add tokenised funds as the product matures. Progress is tracked on onboarding completion rate and time to approve an application.
Wealth & Asset Management for Mining tech in Chile
Mining tech businesses in Chile building wealth & asset management platforms usually need fast release cycles, scalable multi-tenant architecture and extra senior engineering capacity. We typically start with order management and add investor portal as the product matures. Progress is tracked on release frequency and customer churn.
Wealth & Asset Management for Retail in Chile
Retail businesses in Chile building wealth & asset management platforms usually need fast storefronts, omnichannel inventory, loyalty and frictionless checkout. We typically start with tokenised funds and add robo-advisory as the product matures. Progress is tracked on checkout conversion and stock accuracy.

Example: wealth & asset management software for a fintech business in Temuco
Consider a fintech company in Temuco (agribusiness and forestry). A typical wealth & asset management software engagement would start with robo-advisory, then order management, and finish the first release with tokenised funds — usually within 8–16 weeks.
Payments would run through Cards, data would be handled under Law 19, and success would be measured on onboarding completion rate, time to approve an application and fraud loss rate.

Regulators relevant to wealth & asset management software in Chile

CMF (Fintech Law 21,521)
Chile's Financial Market Commission, which implements the Fintech Law covering crowdfunding, crypto custody and open finance. For wealth & asset management software, custody, wallet security, disclosures and travel-rule messaging must match its rulebook.

Law 19: compliance checklist for wealth & asset management software
Before launch in Chile, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under Law 19.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Chile customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Chile.
- Confirm with counsel whether licensing or registration with CMF (Fintech Law 21,521) applies to your model.
- Document AML, fraud and transaction-monitoring controls for auditors.
Hosting and data residency for wealth & asset management software in Chile
For clients in Chile we usually host on Google Cloud Santiago, with AWS São Paulo as an alternative. The choice balances latency for local users, Law 19 requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
Localising wealth & asset management software for Chile
Business in Chile is mainly conducted in Spanish. We build interfaces, notifications and documents ready for those languages, format dates, numbers and CLP amounts the local way, and plan releases around the CLT working day.
