EC Markets

EC Markets is a multi-jurisdictional online trading broker. Its UK operating company, EC Markets Group Ltd, was incorporated in England and Wales in 2011 and is registered as a financial-intermediation business. The wider group operates through entities in jurisdictions including Mauritius, the UK, Dubai, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Seychelles.

The firm provides access to leveraged products, primarily CFDs, across forex pairs, precious metals, energies, indices, cryptocurrencies and stocks. Its trading infrastructure includes MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and an EC Markets mobile app, alongside account types such as standard, ECN and professional accounts.

For an intern, the business is more relevant to brokerage operations, trading technology, compliance, client service, marketing, partnerships and market analysis than to traditional investment banking or asset management. EC Markets highlights its multi-regulatory structure and global operating footprint as core parts of its proposition.
