Summary
- Ebury is licensed as an Electronic Money Institution by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK
- Ebury has a legal obligation to safeguard client account balances.
- In the unlikely event that Ebury were to cease trading, any client funds held in client accounts subject to safeguarding are protected (ring-fenced) from Ebury's other creditors.
- This gives you peace of mind knowing that your funds are protected.
Our safeguarding obligations can be satisfied in anumber of ways. Currently, Ebury satisfies its safeguarding obligations by segregating client funds in designated safeguarding accounts with Tier 1 banks. Ebury selects and regularly reviews these institutions used to hold its client funds based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, reputational risk, agency ratings, service capabilities and local market presence.
Ebury Safeguarding Structure
Funds are reconciled immediately at the point of receipt and our safeguarding obligations are met at all times. Funds are ring fenced in our safeguarding vehicles within one business day.
All safeguarding processes ensure that funds are appropriately protected in line with the client's agreed terms and conditions and the governing regulations.
Margins
Margin in the form of funds may be transferred to Ebury under title transfer collateral arrangements for the purpose of securing or otherwise covering the performance of financial obligations owed to Ebury. As such, ownership of these funds transfers to Ebury on receipt. If Ebury were to cease trading, the provider of this margin will generally be an unsecured creditor.
Deposit Guarantee Scheme
Because Ebury operates as an Electronic Money Institution we do not fall under any relevant banking deposit guarantee scheme, such as the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
