EBC wins BrokersView award for best trading experience, reinforcing its role as a global leader.
At the BrokersView Award ceremony held in September 2024 in Vietnam, EBC Financial Group (EBC) won the “Best Trading Experience” award, once again confirming its position as a global leader in the financial industry specializing in foreign exchange, CFDs and stocks. The latest award recognized EBC’s commitment to ensuring the best trading conditions and delivering an exceptional trading experience.
Although the global foreign exchange market is growing rapidly and is expected to surpass US$10 trillion by 2028 (Source: Yahoo Finance), participation in this increasingly popular financial planning tool is marred by widespread misinformation and high volatility, leading to a lack of confidence among traders (Source: Finance Magnates). EBC aims to overcome these challenges by fostering a stable and reliable trading environment, guided by its core belief that every investor’s commitment should be given the seriousness and sincerity it deserves.
Beyond continuous efforts to bring innovation to its trading platform and ensure highly competitive spreads, EBC is committed to adhering to strict regulations, offering fair and transparent pricing mechanisms and ensuring multi-layered security measures.
Expanding global reach and strategic presence
EBC Financial Group has long established its position as a global brokerage firm, with a strong presence in major financial hubs such as London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Sydney as well as emerging markets in Latin America, South East Asia, Africa and India.
This international expansion is driven by EBC’s strategy of localizing its operations to meet the regulatory requirements of each region, while tailoring its offerings to the specific needs of clients in each market. Through strategic investments in regulatory licenses, institutional-scale liquidity and advanced trading infrastructure, EBC is positioning itself to meet the needs of a broader international client base by offering a diversified range of trading tools and services.
EBC’s growth in emerging markets including Southeast Asia, Latin America, India and Africa reflects the company’s commitment to providing traders with access to robust financial ecosystems that have traditionally been underserved by mainstream financial institutions. As EBC scales its operations, the company continues to expand its support infrastructure in these regions to ensure traders have the same seamless experience as in more established financial hubs.
BrokersView: A leading broker review platform
BrokersView is a brand of FastBull, a leading financial information portal that helps investors quickly and efficiently identify suitable brokers. Winning the “Best Trading Experience” award was no mean feat given the large number of candidates in the running. In evaluating EBC for the 2024 awards, BrokersView conducted a rigorous appraisal of EBC based on six key criteria, namely, transaction speed, stability, liquidity, slippage, spreads and swap rates.
Real-time data was reviewed under predefined trading conditions and ultimately, EBC’s custom trading platform offers fast and optimal order executions, tight spreads, 24/7 customer service, which helped the company stand out and provide a mark of trust, thus playing a key role in obtaining this prestigious award.
EBC’s mission as a global brokerage group is to create a large-scale trading ecosystem that provides traders around the world with an efficient tool. To achieve this goal, EBC invests in regulatory licenses, advanced infrastructure, institutional-grade liquidity, effective risk management, and in-house developed trading algorithms. Furthermore, security and privacy are paramount at EBC. The company uses 256-bit SSL encryption and dedicated trading channels to protect its clients’ information and create customized solutions to ensure an optimal trading experience.
Celebrating a spirit of excellence
In addition to the BrokersView Award ceremony accolades, Al Hamidi, Senior Analyst at EBC was also honoured with the ‘Best Innovative Trading Strategy’ award at the FastBull 2024 Trading Influencers Awards ceremony, which was held in parallel with the BrokersView Awards ceremony. The FastBull 2024 Trading Influencers Awards ceremony aims to celebrate individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the industry.
With over a decade of experience in the field, Al Hamidi has led theoretical advances in market strategy analysis and compliance-related research. His expertise in business recovery and business continuity protocols (BCPs) was instrumental in enabling EBC to respond quickly during the CrowdStrike incident in July 2024. This award recognizes the wealth of experience and expertise across EBC’s diverse teams and the group’s efforts to foster a culture of learning through financial literacy and knowledge sharing.
This latest accolade brings the total number of awards for EBC in 2024 to seven. Most recently, in August 2024, EBC was awarded the Best Broker in Asia Pacific at the annual Finance Magnates Awards.
Looking ahead, EBC remains focused on its global development roadmap, delivering the ultimate trading experience and placing traders at the center of its operations. The company’s goal, which has been ongoing for years, remains unchanged: to empower traders to make informed decisions and be their trusted partners at every step of the trading journey.
