EBS Spot Ai (Automated FX interface) is an automated trading tool that provides direct electronic access between the customer's trading system and thousands of
FX counterparties on the EBS platform. Delivered through a state-of-the-art API, EBS Spot Ai provides a direct two-way interface with the global FX market on the
EBS platform, enabling model/program trading and the maintenance of a 24-hour book.
EBS Prime gives customers access to trade on the optimum liquidity and prices on the award-winning electronic EBS trading platform - prices that might
otherwise be unavailable to them - by enabling them to view the market through the pre-screened credit of an EBS Prime bank. EBS Prime customers contract
directly with an EBS Prime bank to use their credit and trade on the best FX and metals prices. The commercial arrangement between the EBS Prime customer
and the EBS Prime bank is independent of ICAP. Customers pay either as a fee to their EBS Prime bank or as a spread added to the dealt price on the EBS
Prime customer's deal ticket. They also pay a standard transaction fee to ICAP.
