EC Markets Anniversary: From Ambition to Global Reach
How EC Markets has grown into a global brokerage trusted by traders and partners around the world.
Today, we’re proud to support more than 300,000 traders across 50 countries, operate from 12 global offices, employ 500+ people around the world, and record more than $2 trillion in average monthly trading volume.
Those numbers tell part of our story.
This anniversary gives us the opportunity to look beyond them and reflect on how we’ve grown, how we’ve evolved, and the people who have helped shape EC Markets along the way.
Building the Foundations
We were established with a clear objective: to provide traders with a transparent, technology-driven trading environment supported by strong regulatory standards and institutional-grade infrastructure.
As financial markets evolved, so did we.
New markets emerged, client expectations changed, and technology continued to reshape the trading industry. Rather than standing still, we continued to invest in the areas that mattered most: regulation, infrastructure, technology and regional expertise.
Those investments laid the foundations for the business we are today.
Strengthening the Brand
As we expanded internationally, our identity needed to reflect the business we had become.
The introduction of the EC Markets brand, together with a refreshed visual identity, marked an important stage in our development. It wasn’t simply a new logo, it reflected a business with a growing international footprint, a broader client base and a clear vision for the future.
During this period, we also strengthened our international presence with the opening of new offices in Limassol and Dubai, reinforcing our ability to support clients and partners across key global financial centres.
The Journey So Far
Growth has always been driven by one objective: to better support the traders and partners who choose EC Markets.
Today, we’re proud to have reached a number of significant milestones:
- 322K traders worldwide
- A presence across 50 countries
- 12 global offices
- 500+ employees worldwide
- 7 regulatory licences
- 25 international industry awards
- More than $2 trillion in average monthly trading volume
- Official Global Partner of Liverpool FC
Each milestone represents another stage in our development, from expanding into new markets and strengthening our global presence to investing in technology, earning industry recognition and building long-term partnerships.
Growth Beyond the Numbers
While growth can be measured in offices, countries and trading volumes, the real story has always been about the people behind those achievements.
Every new market we’ve entered, every product we’ve launched, every partnership we’ve established and every award we’ve received has been made possible by the collective efforts of our people.
From dealing, operations and technology to compliance, finance, customer support, marketing and business development, every team has played a role in shaping EC Markets into the company it is today.
The same is true of our clients and partners. Your trust has been central to our growth and has helped shape every stage of our journey.
