Customers trading on EBS Direct can now benefit from enhanced processing times – below 50 microseconds – and faster market data on the new platform. This is the most significant upgrade to EBS Direct, our dedicated bilateral trading platform, since its inception.

Our new technology will deliver improved price discovery, provide greater certainty of execution, and significantly improve fill ratios for market participants. The creation of a more deterministic trading environment will create operational, execution, and total cost efficiencies ‒ improving overall trading performance for both liquidity consumers and liquidity providers.

That’s why Mohamed Braham, Global Head of FIC Trading at Societe Generale, commented:

“It has been a pleasure to work with the EBS team and establish Societe Generale as one of the first clients on the new EBS Direct platform. We are excited by the potential for further improvement in our OTC FX trading and the efficiencies that will stem as a result."
