Electronic Brokering Services (EBS)

Electronic Broking Services (EBS) is an electronic trading platform used in the interbank foreign exchange market. It is one of the primary platforms for institutional forex trading, particularly for major currency pairs like EUR/USD and USD/JPY.

Example

The institutional forex desk executed a $50 million EUR/USD trade through EBS, getting a tighter spread than what was available on competing platforms due to the deep interbank liquidity.
