LONDON, June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EBC Financial Group (EBC) has been named Most Trusted FX Broker and Best CFD Broker on a global basis at the World Finance Awards 2026, taking two honours within the World Finance Forex Awards. For traders, the recognition is an independent signal that the conditions they depend on have been judged among the strongest in the market: transparent pricing, secure access, and dependable execution.

What the recognition reflects

The Most Trusted FX Broker award recognises the confidence EBC builds through secure market access, responsive service, and consistent operational standards across its global network. For clients, that consistency is what makes a platform dependable through changing market conditions, rather than only in calm ones.

The Best CFD Broker award reflects the strength of EBC's CFD offering across major markets, with robust execution, professional trading conditions, and an environment built for retail, professional, and institutional clients alike. Interbank-level pricing from 0.0 pips and order execution averaging under 20 milliseconds mean lower trading costs and fewer missed fills, helping clients act on opportunities as they arise rather than after the moment has passed.

“EBC has built a reputation in this market that's hard to ignore. Consistently transparent, consistently reliable, and clearly trusted by the clients who matter most. Both wins are thoroughly deserved, and it's been a pleasure watching EBC's progress this year. Congratulations to the whole team,” said Cyril Jones, Awards Director, World Finance.

Global access, backed by local support

For clients, the value of these awards lies in what they make possible. EBC provides access to currencies, commodities, indices, shares, and CFDs across more than 100 countries, supported by local teams that share market insight and respond in real time. Whether starting from a low-capital position or managing professional volume, clients reach global markets through a single regulated environment, with support close to where they are.

Raising the standard for clients worldwide

“Receiving these two global honours from the World Finance Awards is a meaningful recognition of the trust our clients place in us. Our focus remains on delivering transparent, secure, and reliable access to global FX and CFD markets, while continuing to raise the standard of service for traders worldwide,” said Christopher Stiegeler, Executive Director, EBC Financial Group (Cayman) Limited.

That focus runs through how the wider Group operates: a commitment to integrity, high-standard trading conditions, and a safer, more transparent environment in which clients can pursue global opportunities with confidence.

Building on a record of trust

Founded in London, EBC has expanded its international presence through regulated entities operating across major financial jurisdictions, including the UK, Australia, the Cayman Islands, and South Africa, among others. The Group now serves clients in over 100 countries, with more than 5 million registered users and over USD 390 billion in average monthly trading volume.

The 2026 honours extend a multi-year run of World Finance recognition and reinforce EBC's standing as a brokerage measured by the trust, transparency, and long-term value it delivers to the clients it serves.
