I'm not aware of any ongoing haskell work in finance, other that some private work being done by Alain Cremieux, reported in the HCAR.
Lennart Augustsson works for Credit Suisse, using a Haskell DSEL to generate financial models for execution by clusters running Excel. (This I gleaned from him in IRC the other day; apologies to Lennart if I misremember the specifics.) I believe that Goldman Sachs might be using Haskell, too, but I don't know for sure (they have at least one ex-Yale FRP person, at any rate). Wall Street has long had a fondness for esoteric technologies (APL, Linda, you name it). I'm sure there are more Haskell users lurking there somewhere.
