LSEG OpenAI Partnership Integrates Financial Market Data Directly Into ChatGPT

LSEG partners with OpenAI to integrate financial data with ChatGPT

As part of the collaboration, ChatGPT users will gain access to LSEG's licensed financial market data and news content. London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) has today (3 December) announced a partnership with artificial intelligence giant OpenAI to integrate its financial data and analytics into ChatGPT. As part of the collaboration, the company will grant access to news content and financial market data licensed through LSEG products like Workspace and Financial Analytics to ChatGPT users and enterprise customers. The company's data and content will be made available through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector that ChatGPT users will be able to access through a phased roll-out beginning with LSEG's Financial Analytics service - with additional data categories and functions to become available over time. MCP is an open-source standard for connecting AI applications to external systems and can be used to connect AI models to data sources, tools and workflows. LSEG's MCP connector is expected to be live in ChatGPT from the week of 8 December. Additionally, ChatGPT Enterprise will also be available for an initial 4,000 LSEG employees as part of the deal. According to LSEG, the company will work with OpenAI's technical success teams to ensure successful adoption of the latest frontier AI models and product capabilities. "LSEG's market data and analytics power decisions across global finance," said Ashley Kramer, chief revenue officer at OpenAI. "Integrating that strength into ChatGPT makes it even easier for customers to ask complex questions and move quickly with confidence. "We're proud to support LSEG as they bring richer insights to their clients and equip their own teams with more efficient, AI-driven workflows." Today's partnership is a part of the financial data company's 'LSEG Everywhere' strategy, in which LSEG is focusing on delivering licensed data to scale AI in financial services. OpenAI has made a slew of partnerships in recent months. In October, the AI giant inked a major infrastructure agreement with chipmaker AMD to power OpenAI's AI infrastructure across multiple generations of AMD Instinct GPUs. At the end of October, the company struck a deal with PayPal to make instant payments available to buyers within ChatGPT. In early November, OpenAI signed a $38bn deal with Amazon's cloud subsidiary Amazon Web Services (AWS) to run and scale its AI workloads for seven years. Less than two weeks later, the AI company announced partnerships with the Irish Government, start-up hub Dogpatch Labs and young entrepreneurs programme Patch to support AI skills and SME growth in Ireland.

The integration will begin the week of Dec. 8 and will allow users with LSEG credentials to access Financial Analytics content, real-time market data, research and news from within ChatGPT through a connector built using the Model Context Protocol. LSEG said the approach will let clients query its datasets inside a conversational interface without switching systems. LSEG said about 4,000 of its employees will gain immediate access to ChatGPT Enterprise as part of the collaboration to support internal research and workflow automation. The company described the partnership as an extension of its data-distribution strategy, which aims to make its content available in any AI environment that clients use. LSEG said it plans to expand the data categories available in ChatGPT after the initial launch. The new partnership follows an earlier collaboration between LSEG and Microsoft that PYMNTS reported in October. In that agreement, LSEG enabled banks and financial institutions to connect licensed LSEG data to Microsoft's AI tools, including Copilot Studio, through the same MCP standard now used in the OpenAI connector. PYMNTS reported that the Microsoft partnership allowed customers to build and deploy AI agents with direct access to LSEG's historical datasets, pricing information and analytics pipelines. LSEG said the OpenAI partnership will fit into the same "LSEG Everywhere" framework introduced earlier this year, which commits the company to making its data available across multiple AI platforms, including third-party model providers. Emily Prince, LSEG's Group Head of AI, said the integration combines the security of enterprise AI platforms with the scale and depth of LSEG's financial content. OpenAI Chief Revenue Officer Ashley Kramer said the connector will support more complex financial queries and faster analysis for users who rely on LSEG data. The announcement comes as more businesses are utilizing generative AI in business operations. OpenAI, onstage Wednesday at the FT Global Banking Summit, said European financial firms are accelerating adoption as generative AI becomes the operating system shaping fraud detection, investment analysis, and lending decisions. The company highlighted new enterprise customers, including Revolut, Allica Bank, Hg, EQT, and Permira, along with impact data from Zopa and OakNorth. Revolut is using GPT 5 to strengthen financial crime controls and customer support. Allica said it is cutting lending assessment times. Zopa is reviewing about 40,000 customer interactions each month. OakNorth has automated workflows across the company. EQT and Permira reported near universal employee adoption and portfolio level revenue impact. The AA and LSEG also announced plans this week to use ChatGPT Enterprise. LSEG said it will roll out ChatGPT Enterprise to 4,000 employees as part of the same OpenAI collaboration that brings its data into ChatGPT through the MCP connector. Matt Weaver, OpenAI's EMEA solutions engineering lead, emphasized that AI has moved from pilots to production and said regulated industries are leading adoption. He said financial firms are showing how governance, strategy and platform design allow highly regulated institutions to scale AI safely. LSEG's launch of Financial Analytics within ChatGPT is the first phase of a broader rollout planned across 2026. The company said its long-term goal is to make its licensed datasets accessible to clients through any AI interface that supports enterprise access control, and it plans to expand coverage to additional asset classes and research tools as the collaboration evolves.
