Ateo Finance

Ateo Finance, founded in 2000 by Laurent Courbin, provides post-trade and middle-office solutions for the financial industry, specializing in listed derivatives and crypto markets. The company serves leading banks, trading houses, inter-dealer brokers, and professional traders. Its business model focuses on delivering its technology as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, often as a fully hosted solution for clients who prefer to divest from managing in-house infrastructure.

The company’s core product suite includes the TEO Derivatives platform, a global order management system; the LISA Clearing Engine, a trade matching and clearing solution that processes business across various clearing houses; and UGO, a set of gateways and standardized APIs for developing in-house solutions. In recent years, Ateo expanded its offerings to the digital asset space with products like the MONA Crypto Allocator, which provides connectivity to major cryptocurrency markets, yield, and custodian platforms for monitoring and allocating spot trades.

In February 2024, Ateo Finance was acquired by Trading Technologies International, Inc. (TT), a global capital markets technology platform provider. This acquisition followed a strategic partnership formed in late 2022. Following the acquisition, Ateo operates as a global managed service hosted within TT's data centers, with its post-trade allocation engine fully integrated into the TT order management system.
