What ForInvest does

ForInvest (legal entity ForInvest Yazılım ve Teknoloji Hizmetleri A.Ş., formerly Foreks Trader) is a Turkish investment technology company founded circa 1990-1991 and headquartered at the ITU Arı Teknokent technology park in Sarıyer, Istanbul. It operates a dual B2B/B2C model: it supplies white-label investment and trading software to Turkish banks and brokerages, and it distributes consumer-facing investment applications directly to retail investors. The platform covers Borsa İstanbul (BIST), VİOP derivatives, commodities, crypto, and international exchanges, and the company reports 10M+ end users, 40+ integrated partner banks and brokerages, and processing of ~1.5B data points per day across three servers in Europe on AWS infrastructure (ForInvest is an AWS Advanced Technology Partner).

The product portfolio spans mobile, web, and desktop. The consumer ForInvest app (Standard/Trade/Pro tiers) provides live market data, alerts, and AI-supported analysis; ForInvest Cüzdan (Yatırım Cüzdanı) is a digital wallet for stock, gold, silver, platinum and palladium trading with 2M+ downloads, operating via SPK-licensed brokerage Tacirler Yatırım and FCA-licensed Minted TR for precious metals. FXPlus is a professional Windows-based data terminal (Free/Basic/Pro/Premium tiers) with technical analysis and algorithmic modules, while ProTrader targets professional/algorithmic traders with HFT execution, OTO-OCO orders, arbitrage and portfolio rebalancing. Proprietary modules include F-RAY Scoring (algorithmic fundamental scoring of BIST companies), Chain Pad, Trade Pad, and Smart News (AI-curated news).

Revenue is generated through several mechanics: auto-renewing monthly consumer subscriptions (e.g., Trade 549 TL, Pro 1799 TL discounted from 2799 TL), FXPlus professional terminal subscriptions (Basic 1499 TL, Pro 1999 TL, Premium 2499 TL), ProTrader at 2056 TL/month, Smart News at 99 TL/month, tiered transaction take-rates on the Investment Wallet (0.015%-0.10% by daily volume), and enterprise licensing/development fees for turnkey white-label deployments to institutions such as İşbank, Anadolubank, QNB Finansinvest and EPİAŞ, plus real-time market-data distribution services. Go-to-market combines product-led growth (freemium app-store distribution) with enterprise field sales and a ForInvest Labs Boost fintech accelerator that seeds ecosystem pipeline.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Broad incumbents

• Investing.com: Investing.com is a global multi-asset financial data and retail trading platform with real-time quotes, news, and analysis across global markets. Comparable to ForInvest's consumer app and Smart News offerings at the retail end; broader global footprint but similar freemium data-plus-premium subscription model.
• Bloomberg Terminal: Bloomberg operates the dominant global professional market data terminal covering equities, derivatives, FX, commodities and news for institutional clients. Comparable to ForInvest's FXPlus Pro/Premium offerings as a professional terminal peer; differs in scale, geographic coverage and institutional focus but competes for the same professional trader wallet.
• LSEG (Refinitiv / Workspace): LSEG (formerly Refinitiv) provides professional financial market data, analytics, and trading platforms (Eikon/Workspace) serving institutional investors globally. Broad incumbent peer to ForInvest's professional terminal business, sharing the data-and-analytics plus workflow category even though LSEG operates at vastly larger scale and breadth.

Emerging players

• Koyfin: Koyfin is an emerging global investment research and market data platform offering advanced charting, fundamentals, and portfolio analytics on a subscription basis. Comparable to ForInvest's FXPlus and F-RAY Scoring modules in delivering institutional-grade analytics to retail and professional users via modern UX, though focused on US/international markets.
• TipRanks: TipRanks provides AI-driven investment research, analyst forecasts, and stock scoring tools on a subscription basis for retail investors. Directly comparable to ForInvest's F-RAY Scoring and AI-supported fundamental analysis as a 'scoring and recommendation engine' overlaid on market data, though at a global rather than Turkish market focus.
• Midas (Midas Finansal Teknolojiler): Midas is a Turkish retail investment app offering commission-free BIST and US stock trading with a mobile-first, subscription-friendly UX. Comparable to ForInvest's consumer investment app and Yatırım Cüzdanı investment wallet as a Turkish retail investing peer, though Midas is more retail-trading-led and lacks the professional terminal and white-label bank business.

Direct peers

• Matriks (Matriks Bilgi Dağıtım): Matriks is a leading Turkish market data terminal and trading platform provider serving Borsa İstanbul, VIOP, and international markets with professional data terminals and API feeds. Most direct Turkish competitor to ForInvest's FXPlus and ProTrader offerings, sharing the same BIST-focused data terminal category and broker integration model.
• TradingView: TradingView offers a multi-asset charting, market data and trading platform with freemium and premium tiers serving retail and professional investors globally. Directly comparable to ForInvest's FXPlus terminal and consumer app model, with overlapping features like advanced charting, multi-market data, and community-driven analysis.
• Foreks (Foreks Fiyat ve Bilgi Dağıtım): Foreks is a long-established Turkish financial information distribution company providing real-time market data, news, and analysis for BIST and global markets. Comparable as a Turkish data/terminal peer; ForInvest was itself previously branded as 'Foreks Trader' before its rebrand to ForInvest, making this a historical and category peer.

Regional players

• Mynet Finans: Mynet Finans is a Turkish-language financial information portal offering real-time BIST data, news, and analysis to Turkish retail investors. Comparable as a Turkish-market data and news destination serving the same retail audience as ForInvest's consumer app, though without the same depth of trading platform or professional terminal offering.
