Tick Trading Software AG Expands into Financial Sector Consulting Services

Tick Trading Software AG is expanding its service portfolio to include consulting services for companies in the financial sector. The German software company, which has built a strong reputation in securities trading and settlement software over many years, is broadening its strategic focus and creating additional value for customers through this new business line.

The expansion comes under new leadership, with Martin Luttich joining as CEO on October 1, 2025, following his career at HSBC Germany. Luttich explained that the constantly changing framework conditions in the financial industry repeatedly present companies with new challenges. The company believes its team's extensive industry experience can deliver real added value in analyzing and overcoming these challenges for clients.

The new consulting unit will support companies in addressing technological and process-related challenges, with focus on practical business analysis and project support along the entire value chain in the securities sector. This includes helping clients navigate the complex regulatory requirements that characterize modern financial markets. The consulting services extend beyond support and optimization in using Tick Trading Software AG's own products, covering a wide range of topics including customized project support for third-party software integration and business process optimization.

To launch the consulting division, the company has brought on two new colleagues with extensive experience in business analysis and complex project management. Both hold doctorates in physics and previously worked at a major European bank, bringing substantial consulting expertise and deep technical understanding of securities business, regulatory requirements, and information technology. Their backgrounds suggest the company is positioning itself to offer highly technical, sophisticated consulting services that bridge the gap between financial operations and technological implementation.

The company's established position in the market provides a solid foundation for this expansion. With its TradeBase MX platform (TBMX), tick-TS AG has been providing professional customers with one of the world's most advanced and reliable trading platforms for more than 20 years. The product portfolio includes direct connections to national and international marketplaces and brokers, market making tools for designated sponsoring, proprietary hosting and housing infrastructure, and the e-Trading Compliance Monitor (ECM) for compliance with ESMA regulations.

This strategic expansion aims to strengthen Tick Trading Software AG's market position long-term while actively shaping the financial sector through tailor-made software solutions and consulting services. The move represents a natural evolution for a company that has demonstrated consistent performance, having been listed on the primary market of the Dusseldorf Stock Exchange since 2017 under ISIN: DE000A35JS99 with ticker symbol TBX0. The company's unique dividend policy, which stipulates payment of the entire distributable net profit to investors, further underscores its stable financial position and commitment to shareholder value.

For financial institutions facing increasing regulatory complexity and technological transformation pressures, this expansion provides access to integrated software and consulting services from a single provider with deep domain expertise. The combination of established trading platform technology with specialized consulting services could help financial companies streamline operations, reduce compliance risks, and adapt more efficiently to market changes. As financial markets continue to evolve with new regulations and technological advancements, the demand for such integrated solutions is likely to grow, positioning Tick Trading Software AG to capture additional market share through this strategic diversification.
