Baha

What Baha does

Baha is a Vienna-headquartered, privately held information company that provides real-time market data, financial news, and technology services to the financial industry. Its coverage spans over 12 million financial instruments across more than 150 exchanges worldwide, with 24/7 breaking-news capability and global distribution. The company operates alongside Reuters and Bloomberg as one of only three global real-time data providers named after their founder, having been repositioned under the baha brand in 2021 (its mobile consumer app remains branded Teletrader in app stores).

Baha's product portfolio is organized under the baha WebStation ecosystem and comprises four primary offerings: baha WebStation (the unified web ecosystem for market data, news, and analytics), Baha Data Services (licensable market-data coverage for institutional redistributors), the baha StockMarkets mobile app (for retail and professional mobile users on iOS, Android, and Huawei devices), and the baha Terminal (a professional-grade trading terminal accessed via wealth.baha.com). The platform aggregates data from approximately 200 global real-time data providers, normalizes it across exchanges and asset classes, and exposes it through web, desktop-terminal, and mobile surfaces.

The company's revenue model combines subscription-based professional terminal and data-licensing revenue with a freemium consumer-mobile tier. Go-to-market is predominantly product-led via the web platform and app stores, supplemented by an assisted sales motion ('Request free demo') for institutional terminal customers. Baha serves a horizontal professional segment — traders, analysts, and other financial-market participants — across multiple European, US, and international locales. The company employs 251–500 people and operates as baha GmbH under Austrian jurisdiction. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or partnerships are disclosed in the source data.
