Client Fund Security
Your capital security is our top priority. Beyond regulatory compliance, we implement additional layers of protection to ensure your funds remain safe.
Segregated Client Accounts
All client funds are held in segregated accounts at tier-1 global banks, completely separate from company operational funds. This ensures your money is never used for our corporate expenses, operations, or obligations.
Why it matters: In the unlikely event of company insolvency, your funds remain protected and separate from any corporate proceedings.
Additional Insurance Coverage
We maintain comprehensive insurance policies through Lloyd's of London that provide an additional layer of protection beyond regulatory requirements, offering extra peace of mind for our clients.
Policy coverage: Protection against operational risks, fraud, cyber threats, and professional indemnity.
Negative Balance Protection
For retail clients trading with EBC Financial Group entities regulated by the FCA and ASIC, we offer negative balance protection, ensuring you can never lose more than your account balance regardless of market volatility.
Example: Even during extreme market events like the Swiss Franc shock of 2015, clients with negative balance protection would only lose their deposited funds, not more.
Robust Risk Management
Our advanced risk management systems monitor positions 24/7, implementing automatic margin calls and stop-outs to help protect clients from excessive losses during volatile market conditions.
Our approach: Proactive risk mitigation through real-time monitoring, transparent margin policies, and advanced liquidity management.
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Compliance
EBC Financial Group maintains a comprehensive Anti-Money Laundering (AML) program that meets or exceeds the requirements of all jurisdictions in which we operate. Our commitment to preventing financial crime is unwavering, and we implement stringent measures to ensure our services are not misused for illicit purposes.
