The governed data layer for OTC financial markets
OTC markets run on relationships, and relationships run on chat. Every day, substantial risk is agreed, negotiated and confirmed across messaging platforms and email. Most of it is never captured in any formal system.
The terms are there. The counterparty flow is there. The context behind every trade: all of it passes through chat and disappears. ipushpull was built to close that gap.
We are a data workflow and AI governance platform for OTC financial markets. We work across the major messaging platforms used in markets. We capture what is agreed in chat, structure it into governed, auditable records and deliver it into the systems firms already run. No re-keying. A full record of what was said and agreed.
Three solutions on one platform
Chat Data Mining is the core capability: automated capture, interpretation and normalisation of chat data into structured, governed outputs. It is the intelligence engine that powers everything else.
Quote Hub consolidates quotes, RFQs and pricing responses from every channel into a single live view, giving sales desks the speed of informal communication with the governance of a formal system.
Trade Capture & Booking reads what is agreed in chat and books trades directly into the firm's ETRM or CTRM of choice. At Koch Energy Services, it reduced trade-entry time by 85% and achieved 90%+ field-level accuracy in production.
Trusted by the firms that move markets
ipushpull is used by 100+ financial institutions including JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, TP ICAP, NatWest Markets, LSEG, StoneX, Insight Investment and Koch Energy Services.
