First-Time Honour: EBC Named Best CFD Provider at 2025 Online Money Awards
EBC Financial Group has earned our first recognition from the Online Money Awards, taking home the title of Best CFD Provider 2025. The award highlights our commitment to innovation, execution quality, and putting traders first in a rapidly evolving global CFD landscape.
This marks an exciting moment for us, reflecting the impact of recent product launches, platform upgrades, and a growing focus on flexibility and access across asset classes. At the core of this recognition is our latest expansion in ETF CFDs—one of the most requested and forward-looking areas of multi-asset trading.
Expanding Access with ETF CFDs
We recently added over 100 US-listed ETF CFDs to our product suite, giving clients direct, leveraged access to some of the most actively traded global themes. This includes funds from iShares (BlackRock), Vanguard, and State Street Global Advisors, spanning major indices, geographic markets, sectors, and bond strategies.
Traders can now take real-time long or short positions on everything from clean energy and US tech to high-yield debt and Asia-Pacific equities—without the restrictions of traditional ETF investing. With no fund management fees, the ability to use leverage, and zero commission on most trades, our ETF CFDs are designed to deliver both thematic access and tactical control.
We also support style-based indices focused on dividend, growth, and value exposures, allowing clients to position more precisely based on macro views or sector rotation.
Built for the Way Traders Trade
“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.
Our ETF CFD expansion is part of a broader push to develop tools and instruments that match real-world trading behaviour. Clients are looking for precise, cost-efficient instruments to express high-conviction views, and this offering was built with that feedback in mind.
Platform Enhancements Backed by Speed
In 2025, we rolled out key enhancements to support our growing CFD suite. These include smart liquidity routing, multilingual platform upgrades, and improved backend performance, which together enable execution speeds as low as 20ms.
Our proprietary tools—Trading Black Box and Private Room—give clients tighter control over pricing and execution, adding depth and transparency to the trading experience. These capabilities align with our broader mission to offer a high-integrity, high-performance platform for serious traders.
A Growing List of Industry Recognitions
Winning Best CFD Provider at the Online Money Awards adds to our expanding list of industry accolades in 2025. It follows our recent dual victories at the World Finance Forex Awards—where we were named Most Trusted Broker and Best Trading Platform.
Together, these achievements reflect a consistent strategy: expand intelligently, prioritise client experience, and raise industry standards across products, pricing, and performance.
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.
