Summary:
First-time recognition from Online Money Awards reflects EBC's global leadership in CFD innovation, transparency, and trader-first product development.
EBC Financial Group (EBC) has been named Best CFD Provider at the 2025 Online Money Awards, marking our first recognition from the respected industry platform. The award reflects our ongoing expansion in our multi-asset product suite, enhancement of trade execution technology, and launch of various client-focused innovations, particularly in the fast-evolving CFD space.
The accolade comes as we expand our trading suite with the launch of over 100 U.S.-listed ETF CFDs—offering clients leveraged access to diversified market exposures across global themes. Designed to meet growing demand for thematic and tactical instruments, the new suite enables traders to respond dynamically to sectoral and macro narratives ranging from clean energy and U.S. tech to dividend-yielding assets, fixed income, and emerging markets.
"This award speaks directly to how EBC continually meets the needs of today's traders—with an emphasis on flexibility, transparency, and access to smarter, more diversified products. The Group's ETF CFDs are designed with these priorities in mind, helping clients take directional positions on market themes that matter—at lower costs, with real-time execution, and the ability to go long or short. This win reflects the Group's ongoing focus on putting traders first," said David Barrett, CEO of EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd.
ETF CFDs: Thematic Access, Tactical Control
The addition of over 100 ETF CFDs to our platform represents a major expansion of our product range. Clients now have access to ETFs issued by Vanguard, iShares (BlackRock), and State Street Global Advisors, listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ, covering a wide spectrum of market opportunities, including geographic allocations such as the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF and Asia-Pacific-focused ETFs; sector-based themes covering U.S. healthcare, energy, consumer goods, and technology; as well as fixed income strategies through high-yield and investment-grade bond ETFs.
Clients can also trade style-based indices, including value, growth, and dividend-focused baskets—providing greater precision in portfolio positioning. Unlike traditional ETF investing, our CFD structure enables traders to gain exposure without incurring fund management fees, while offering the flexibility to take long or short positions in real time. With leverage available for enhanced capital efficiency and zero commission on most trades, the ETF CFD product line delivers a compelling solution for active traders seeking both tactical opportunities and thematic diversification.
Enhancing Platform Capabilities and Execution Performance
Our win at the Online Money Awards follows a series of platform enhancements in 2025, including expanded multilingual support, smart liquidity routing, and performance upgrades that support execution speeds as low as 20ms. Our proprietary tools—such as the Trading Black Box and Private Room—enhance pricing and execution control for traders, supporting our broader efforts to deliver high-integrity, high-performance platforms across markets.
The Online Money Awards, hosted by Holiston Media, recognise excellence in the financial services and fintech sectors, with winners selected through a blend of editorial analysis and investor feedback.
This recognition adds to our growing list of accolades in 2025, including our recent dual wins at the World Finance Forex Awards 2025 for Most Trusted Broker and Best Trading Platform—reinforcing our global momentum across multiple asset classes and client segments.
