EBC Financial Group Review 2026
Regulated by
- CIMA (Cayman)
- FCA (UK, pro-only)
- ASIC
- FSCA
- FSC (Mauritius)
EBC Financial Group is a multi-entity CFD and forex broker. For international clients it operates through its offshore Cayman Islands entity (CIMA, SIB licence 2038223), outside EEA/UK retail protections. Its FCA (UK) entity serves professional/eligible clients only — not retail — and its ASIC (Australia) entity caps retail leverage at 1:30. Offshore leverage runs up to 1:500 on the Standard account, with an advertised 'Ultra Leverage' of up to 1:2000 — an extreme, high-risk setting. Platforms are MetaTrader 4 and 5 (no proprietary platform). CFDs are complex, leveraged products; capital at risk. Not offered to EEA or UK retail clients here.
