FinTech Sandbox announced today that Tiingo Inc., an award-winning online financial data analytics tool and market data provider, has signed on as a Data Partner, bringing the total number of Data Partners of the Boston-based nonprofit to 40.
FinTech Sandbox facilitates innovation in the financial sector by making data and infrastructure available to well-qualified FinTech startups at the point when such access is most impactful. These Sandbox startups, in return, are expected to collaborate with each other, sharing learnings and advancements that benefit the FinTech ecosystem. Participating startups pay no fees, and no equity is taken.
Said Rishi Singh, CEO of Tiingo, “FinTech Sandbox has made extraordinary inroads by helping FinTech start-ups break through the traditionally high barriers they face: from regulation, to compliance, meeting enterprise clients, and gaining access to expensive data feeds. We are proud to join the FinTech Sandbox as a data partner and bring Tiingo’s high-quality data feeds, knowledge, and expertise to the Sandbox residents. We hope to help further the breaking down of barriers so our industry can focus on innovation.”
Tiingo is making the following data available:
News Feed
Tiingo’s News Feed covers 20 million articles and over two decades worth of news. The feed structures content based on assets mentioned (Equities, Crypto, FX) as well as topics and tags.

End-of-Day Equity & ETF Prices
Tiingo’s End-of-Day prices cover 32,000 U.S, and Chinese equities listed across all U.S. exchanges (including OTC Group) and Chinese exchanges. Pricing history dates back 50+ years to 1962 for U.S. equities, including both adjusted and unadjusted prices.
Intraday Real-Time Data
Tiingo utilizes its direct connection to the IEX exchange to produce a low-latency translated binary feed. Additionally, Tiingo enriches IEX data to produce more frequent ticks, which also results in more intraday coverage than the IEX Exchange.
