EC Markets seeks to redefine the contemporary profile of a global broker.
In June, EC Markets will undertake initiatives that mark new, decisive steps in its worldwide expansion and consolidation within the financial sector. The company will play a leading role at the now established iFX Expo International 2025, which will be held from 17 to 19 June at the City of Dreams Mediterranean Resort in Limassol. This year’s iFX Expo is expected to be far more than a conventional exhibition: the gathering of thousands of financial-services professionals—representing more than 120 countries—aims to confirm its reputation as the pre-eminent forum for foreign-exchange markets, fintech and payment services both in Europe and globally.
For EC Markets, Cyprus constitutes a significant strategic hub for regional and international development, and the iFX Expo provides a timely opportunity not only to showcase corporate excellence but also to demonstrate its guiding philosophy of transparency, technological superiority and meaningful human dialogue.
Official Sponsor of the Welcome Party at Columbia Beach
The exhibition formally opens on the evening of 17 June, and EC Markets, as exclusive sponsor of the Welcome Party, will host all participants at Columbia Beach, one of Limassol’s most iconic seafront venues. Against the backdrop of the Mediterranean and in an atmosphere that epitomises the city’s cosmopolitan character, guests will enjoy the occasion while initiating dialogue in a relaxed manner before the two demanding days that follow.
For EC Markets, the Welcome Party offers an excellent opportunity to highlight a central element of its ethos: the role of the host who respects everyone active in the sector, viewing them not as competitors but as fellow travellers in the worlds of economics, innovation and entrepreneurial development. Participants in iFX Expo International 2025 will be welcomed by the CEO and Chairman, Mr Matthew Smith, the Group Marketing Director, Mr Nick Xydas, the Global Head of Business Development, Mr Sherwan Zeybo, and the entire company team, in a space designed for productive and substantive discussions. Finally, the Welcome Party promises impressive surprises and a spectacular display that attendees will long remember.
EC Markets at Booth 72 of iFX Expo Limassol

Visitors will have the opportunity to converse with specialist professionals and to learn about the company’s vision, as outlined by Mr Matthew Smith in early April at iFX LATAM 2025. Concurrently, EC Markets will sponsor the exhibition’s Beer Bar, providing a welcoming space in which attendees may relax and engage in informal discussions.
Summer Updates: A Season of Developmental Change for EC Markets
The upward trajectory of EC Markets continues with further tangible developments. The company will officially launch its completely redesigned corporate website, which offers an optimised registration experience, multilingual educational content, analyses and updates, as well as advanced, innovative high-level tools. The new site reflects the company’s transition towards a digitally focused, data-centric operating models.

The premises will accommodate a creative, productive and diverse team, together with a content-production studio for educational and analytical material and will above all provide a secure space for dialogue in which diversity is embraced as a vital asset. This project underscores the company’s long-term commitment to investment in infrastructure and human capital.

Executive Interview | Charlotte Bullock | Chief Product Officer, Bank of London | FMLS:25
In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.
