United Fintech Enters the Market Data and RegTech Space With TTMzero Acquisition

United Fintech has entered the Market Data & RegTech space with the acquisition of German fintech, TTMzero. United Fintech has taken a 25% stake in the market leading firm, with the intention of increasing to 80% over the next three years.

These products support financial institutions and capital markets participants in the independent valuation of financial instruments and enable them to comply with regulatory reporting requirements across a wide range of jurisdictions.
