TradeIt Teams Up with IBM Cloud for Financial Services

TradeIt Teams Up with IBM Cloud for Financial Services
By David Penn Posted on
Categories: TradeIt, Trading Ticket

Thanks to a new partnership between TradeIt and IBM Cloud for Financial Services, developers will find it that much easier to add universal brokerage functionality to financial apps, platforms, and websites. TradeIt announced this week that developers would be able to use TradeIt’s instant order management solution TradingTicket and its portfolio management product PortfolioView on the IBM Cloud in order to synchronize data and trading with most online U.S. brokers.

TradeIt’s technology connects retail investors to their brokers via the myriad financial services they interact with every day in their mobile banking apps and even social media. By enabling consumers to go seamlessly from reading a stock quote on a watchlist in their PFM app’s dashboard to making an actual investment with their online broker, TradeIt removes friction from the trading and investing process, improving the customer experience.

And by leveraging APIs, TradeIt is able to make these connections securely, maintaining the privacy of the user’s financial information. “Not only do APIs offer a more tailored solution where you essentially get only what you need,” TradeIt CEO Nathan Richardson said in an interview with eWEEK, “(but also) they create a huge potential for innovation.”

TradeIt demonstrated its universal mobile brokerage app at FinovateFall 2015. The app features a quick onboarding process that lets customers fill out an application using information from their government-issued identification and their LinkedIn profile. Online brokers then bid for the customer’s application, with the winning broker completing the application process. This gives trading and investing consumers choice, while online brokers benefit from signing on the accounts that are best fits for their businesses.

TradeIt has raised $12 million in funding and includes Valar Ventures and Newfund Capital among its investors. Founded in 2014, the company is headquartered in New York City. TradeIt’s partners include TheStreet, Marketwatch, Motley Fool, StockTracker, and iStockAlerts.

Trading Ticket Picks Up $4 Million in Seed Funding from Citi, Valar Ventures

Trading Ticket Picks Up $4 Million in Seed Funding from Citi, Valar Ventures

So how did you spend the days leading up to FinovateFall 2015?

Finovate newcomer and mobile trading platform developer, Trading Ticket, celebrated its first appearance at Finovate with a $4 million seed investment from Citi Ventures and Valar Ventures.

Ramneek Gupta, managing director and co-head of investing at Citi Ventures, praised Trading Ticket’s ability to “integrate mobile trading seamlessly into online publishing platforms.” Trading Ticket’s TradeIt platform makes trading easier and more secure, enabling traders and investors to trade from partner websites and apps with whatever broker they choose. The technology is expected to go live soon on mobile apps including Stock Trader, Rubicoin, and Investr. Major financial websites like Benzinga, MarketWatch, and The Street.com will also soon feature TradeIt.

As part of the investment, Andrew McCormack (Valar founding partner) and Blake Darcy (DLJdirect founding CEO) will join the Trading Ticket board. Gupta will serve as a board observer.

Trading Ticket distinguishes itself from other mobile trading solutions in three ways, according to company co-founder and CEO Nathan Richardson. “Speed to trade for users, order volume for brokers, and a direct monetization opportunity for publishers who don’t want the conflict of becoming a broker-dealer.” Publishers and web-app developers can integrate TradeIt into their own solutions through the TradeIt API, widgets, a short URL for use with social media like Twitter, as well as an iOS SDK, and ad units. Exchange-traded fund (ETF) providers say the platform helps them “close the sales cycle” with retail investors in particular by making it easier for visitors to buy highlighted fund offerings.

The technology won Trading Ticket “Most Innovative Trading Solution” at Citibank’s Global Mobile Challenge this spring.

Founded in September 2014 and headquartered in New York, Trading Ticket made its Finovate debut at FinovateFall 2015. Video of the company’s live demonstration will be available later this week.
