What IT-Finance does

IT-Finance (legal entity SARL IT FINANCE) is a privately held French financial technology vendor founded in 2001 and headquartered in Rueil-Malmaison, a suburb of Paris. The company provides business-to-business financial market infrastructure — data feeds, charting solutions, and trading platforms — that brokers, banks, and financial websites embed into their own digital properties. Its customer base is primarily enterprise financial institutions, including major European brokers and banks, alongside financial portals such as CentralCharts and a partner relationship with ProRealTime. The company operates a multi-language web presence (EN, FR, DE, ES, IT, NL) and positions itself as an integration-led supplier that customizes solutions to each client.

The product portfolio spans three categories built around the ITCharts brand: charting solutions (ITCharts Static PNG charts, Dynamic, Full Dynamic, and responsive Lite), trading platforms (ITCharts Web, an HTML5/JS web application, and ITCharts Complete, a desktop application with ProBuilder, ProBacktest, ProScreener, ProRealMap, and optional ProOrder algorithmic trading), and market data services (real-time push datafeeds and multi-year historical data). The underlying technology emphasizes direct exchange connectivity without intermediaries using leased lines and fiber-optic connections for low latency, redundant architecture across two separate datafeeds and datacenters, advanced data-error filtering, FIX/custom protocol integration, and a security stack with encryption and external audits. The company reports 100% in-house development, roughly 180,000 available financial instruments, and up to millions of live orders executed per day via its platforms in 2025.

The business monetizes through enterprise licensing of trading platforms and charting solutions (often white-labeled with client branding), subscription-based market data feeds, managed hosting and 24/7 administration bundled with platform licensing, and a freemium widget offering distributed through ProRealTime. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, tailored to integration complexity and volume, with an implied annual billing cadence. Go-to-market is a direct enterprise field-sales motion in which an experienced project manager assists clients throughout integration, supplemented by top-of-funnel self-service widgets via the ProRealTime partner platform. All solutions are stated to be GDPR-compliant, and the company registers its data processing with the French CNIL.

Broad incumbents

• Bloomberg: Dominant financial data terminal serving investment banks and asset managers. Comparable only at the broad market-data-infrastructure level; orders of magnitude larger than IT-Finance.
• Morningstar: Investment data, analytics and market data provider with history data and equity/ETF coverage. Competes indirectly on historical data and reference data services IT-Finance bundles with ITCharts.
• FactSet: Enterprise financial data and analytics platform for buy-side and sell-side institutions. Comparable on the institutional market data and analytics layer IT-Finance sells into.
• Refinitiv (LSEG): Global financial market data infrastructure and desktop terminal operator. Overlaps with IT-Finance's market data feeds and trading-infrastructure business at the enterprise end of the market, with materially larger scale.

Direct peers

• Barchart: Financial market data and charting provider with direct exchange connectivity serving websites, brokers and media companies. Closely comparable on datafeed + charting combination.
• TradingView: Leading web-based charting and social-trading platform with direct exchange datafeeds and a brokerage white-label offering. Closest direct competitor to IT-Finance's ITCharts and embedded trading-platform products.
• ProRealTime: Web-based charting and trading platform serving European retail and professional traders. IT-Finance is a channel/integration partner and the platforms overlap in charting, technical analysis and broker-side white-label deployment.
• ChartIQ (S&P Global Market Intelligence): HTML5 charting and trading visualization SDK used by banks, brokers and fintechs. Mirrors IT-Finance's ITCharts embeddable charting product and FIX-based trading tools.

Others

• Investing.com: Large financial portal and data consumer relying on third-party charting and feeds. Less a competitor than a potential customer or partner for IT-Finance's embeddable widget products.

Emerging players

• dxFeed: Low-latency market datafeed vendor and index provider targeting fintechs and brokers. Direct comparator on the direct-exchange connectivity and tick-by-tick push datafeed side of IT-Finance's data business.
