EBC Financial Group launches the EBC App, a mobile-first account management platform designed to give traders seamless access to multi-account management, fund transfers, copy trading, market updates, and 24/7 multilingual support

LONDON, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EBC Financial Group (“EBC”) has officially launched the EBC App, a dedicated mobile account management application provided by EBC Financial Group (SVG) LLC and designed to simplify how traders manage accounts, funds, trading activity, and support in one secure, streamlined interface.

Built for today’s increasingly mobile trading environment, the EBC App brings together key account functions that traders often manage across multiple platforms. From switching between accounts and monitoring funds to accessing copy trading opportunities and receiving multilingual support, the app is designed to provide a more connected, efficient, and accessible trading experience for clients at every stage of their journey.

The launch reflects EBC’s continued investment in trader-first technology, reinforcing its commitment to delivering transparent, reliable, and user-focused services across global markets.

A Unified Mobile Experience for Modern Traders

As trading activity becomes faster, more global, and more dependent on real-time access, traders require tools that allow them to manage accounts with greater clarity and control.

The EBC App addresses this need by consolidating essential account management functions into a single mobile platform. Rather than moving between different tools to review account activity, manage funds, follow trading signals, or contact support, users can now access these services through one integrated application.

The app is designed for existing EBC clients, traders considering a move to a more streamlined platform, and newer market participants seeking a simpler entry point into professional account management.

“The EBC App was built around how traders actually manage their accounts today; quickly, securely, and often on the move. By bringing account access, fund management, copy trading, and support into one place, we’re making it easier for clients to stay in control wherever they trade,” said Andria Phiniefs, Marketing Director, EBC Financial Group.

Core Account Management, Built for Mobile

The EBC App is structured around the actions traders perform most frequently, helping keep the account management experience fast, intuitive, and uncluttered.

Key features include:

• Multi-account Management: Users can switch between multiple accounts with ease, with funds, positions, and trading activity synchronised in real time for a clearer view of overall account status.
• Deposits and Withdrawals: The app supports fast and secure fund transfers, enabling clients to manage deposits and withdrawals directly from their mobile device.
• Copy Trading Community: Traders can explore trading signals and copy strategies from experienced market participants, giving newer users a practical way to learn from experienced market participants while giving advanced traders greater flexibility in strategy discovery.
• 24/7 Multilingual Customer Support: Around-the-clock support is available through the app, alongside market notifications and promotional updates, helping users stay connected wherever they are.

Designed for Different Stages of the Trading Journey

For existing EBC clients, the EBC App serves as a natural extension of the desktop experience, bringing account and fund management to mobile without disrupting established workflows.

For traders evaluating alternative platforms, the app offers a cleaner, more consolidated way to manage accounts on the move, supported by EBC’s execution infrastructure. Through its Smart Order Routing Engine, EBC supports price improvement across client orders, with over 87.6% executed at a better price than requested. The platform also delivers 1,000+ orders processed per second, average execution speeds of under 20ms, up to 98.75% data transmission stability, raw ECN spreads from 0.0 pips, liquidity supported by 25+ top-tier investment banks and hedge funds, and 24/7 VIP service.

For newer traders, the app lowers the barrier to entry by combining ease of use with practical tools, support, copy trading features, and access to the broader EBC trading ecosystem.

Strengthening EBC’s Trader-First Digital Ecosystem

EBC Financial Group is a globally regulated cross-asset broker serving traders across international markets. The launch of the EBC App further strengthens the Group’s digital ecosystem by extending professional account management capabilities to mobile.

The app complements EBC’s wider suite of trading tools and services, including multi-asset market access, trading platforms, analytical tools, client support, and trader education. EBC has also been recognised by World Finance for three consecutive years, with honours across categories including Most Trusted Broker, Best Trading Platform, Best CFD Broker, Best FX Trading Platform, and Best Trade Execution.

With the EBC App now live, EBC continues to enhance the accessibility of its trading infrastructure, supporting clients who require greater flexibility, control, and confidence in managing their accounts.

BEIJING, July 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — On the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, CGTN has published an article examining why the CPC continues to attract growing international attention. The article explores how China’s development path, governance model and global vision are reshaping global perceptions of the CPC and offering fresh perspectives on modernization and global governance.

When the international community looks at the Communist Party of China (CPC), what do they see? The latest CGTN global polls on evaluations of the CPC’s role offer a compelling answer. Respondents ranked “strong leadership” as their strongest impression of the Party, followed by “a positive force for maintaining global stability” and “a representative of developing countries’ interests.”

The findings suggest that global attention to the CPC has extended far beyond China’s economic miracles to its governance model and its philosophy in addressing shared global challenges. These themes also took center stage during a speech by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, marking the Party’s 105th anniversary on July 1. The speech by Xi, also Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, resonated deeply with international observers.

“Chinese modernization has shattered the myth that modernization equals Westernization.” That is how Geeganage Weerasinghe, general secretary of the Communist Party of Sri Lanka, interpreted Xi’s latest speech.

His observation echoes a central message delivered by Xi: that the CPC has led the Chinese people in creating “a new form of human civilization” and expanding the path to modernization for developing countries. For decades, modernization was widely viewed through a Western lens. China’s experience, however, offers a different perspective.

Zheng Changzhong, a professor at Fudan University, noted that China’s development demonstrates that modernization is not a one-size-fits-all process. Guided by people-centered governance, long-term planning and policy continuity, the CPC has steered the world’s second-largest economy while maintaining long-term social stability.

The CPC’s governance philosophy has drawn attention from overseas observers. Following a recent visit to China, Massimiliano Ay, general secretary of the Communist Party of Switzerland, was most impressed by a Party “deeply rooted among the people.” Richard Abitbol, a French administrative expert, highlighted that China’s predictable policy continuity gives businesses the confidence to make long-term investments in innovation.

The growing recognition is also reflected in survey data. According to a CGTN poll, 63.9 percent of respondents attributed China’s modernization achievements to the CPC’s scientific decision-making, while 63.7 percent of respondents from the Global South believed the Party provides a viable alternative to the Western development path.

A global vision beyond zero-sum mindsets

Following Xi’s speech, Robert Lawrence Kuhn, chairman of the Kuhn Foundation, said his two keywords from the address were “stability” and “confidence.” At a time when the world is fraught with volatility and shocks, he noted that China’s external policy direction has remained notably consistent.

This consistency is grounded in the CPC’s global vision, which has, as always, made it its mission to pursue progress for humanity and great harmony for the world. Guided by this vision, the CPC has rejected zero-sum thinking and consistently provided Chinese solutions for global peace, development and governance.

In his address, Xi reiterated China’s commitment to injecting positive energy into world peace and development. He called on the Party to uphold the common values of humanity, advance the Global Development Initiative (GDI), the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative and the Global Governance Initiative, and continuously promote the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.

Quoting Xi’s statement that China is “a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of the international order,” Kawa Mahmoud, president of the Iraq-headquartered Global Civilization Initiative Research Center, said China’s commitment to multilateralism is particularly valuable at a time when unilateralism is on the rise. Wirun Phichaiwongphakdee, director of the Thailand-China Research Center of the Belt and Road Initiative, stressed Xi’s vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity and that the four global initiatives reflect the CPC’s global responsibility and contribute Chinese wisdom to human progress.

Beyond rhetoric, the CPC’s global vision is backed by action. The Party has established regular ties with over 700 political organizations in more than 170 countries. Furthermore, China has introduced zero-tariff treatment for all least developed countries and African countries with which it has diplomatic relations, launched over 1,800 cooperation projects under the GDI framework and remains the second-largest contributor to UN peacekeeping operations.

For many outside China, the question is no longer simply how the CPC transformed China but increasingly what its experience may offer to a world searching for new paths to development and cooperation.

New Solutions for Every Aviation Segment Launching in 2026
Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow Introduced as Company’s Aviation Intelligence Engine

AUSTIN, Texas, July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jeppesen ForeFlight today unveiled its aviation-centric AI engine, the foundation of its strategy to bring responsible artificial intelligence to all sectors of aviation. Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow has been developed over the last several years, backed by decades of deep domain experience, industry-leading data, and capabilities spanning crew and fleet planning, day-of-flight operations, and flight deck solutions.

Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow is the foundational agentic AI engine combining commercially available data, segregated proprietary customer data, and extensive domain knowledge including safety, certification expertise, and contextual reasoning across every aviation market. Built on an open architecture and designed to be model agnostic, Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow gives customers full flexibility in how they adopt AI, whether by integrating their own agents, leveraging third-party solutions, or deploying Jeppesen ForeFlight’s native agents. Customers can move at their own pace, at lower cost, and with as much or as little human control over key decisions as their operations require. This flexibility, paired with the company’s reach across crew, fleet, operations, and flight deck performance, distinguishes Jeppesen ForeFlight from generic AI platforms and single-point solutions.

The company is already previewing its first product in the General Aviation market, the ForeFlight AI Connector, an MCP server connecting ForeFlight Mobile to a customer’s existing OpenAI ChatGPT environment. Users can query their personal AI for flight plans and refueling options, or build AI-connected tools and workflows using their data in ForeFlight Mobile. The company intends to expand this feature to other popular AI applications such as Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude so users can use the experience layer of their choosing.

Later this year, Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow will debut its first offerings to the Commercial and Business aviation segments, with military-focused capabilities to follow.

“General AI is confident, but often wrong. In our industry, these mistakes cascade into costly, dangerous, or catastrophic outcomes. Artificial intelligence is not enough for this industry, we need aviation intelligence: the assurance that the right data, right context, and right reasoning are applied every time, and always cross-checked and filtered through industry safety and governance protocols,” said Brad Surak, CEO, Jeppesen ForeFlight. “We have helped the industry evolve from paper to digital to mobile, and we are bringing to market a highly differentiated AI offering in Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow that customers can deploy on their own terms and timelines, at significantly lower IT costs than previous industry transitions.”

Unlike other aviation industry approaches, Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow differentiates and delivers in five critically important areas:

• Reasons in Context – Trusted workflows that fully grasp how the aviation industry actually operates, not just what tended to happen last time.
• Reasons from Certified Inputs – Provenanced intelligence: every outcome carries the regulatory authority and certified accuracy of Jeppesen ForeFlight’s longstanding aviation data and capabilities that much of the industry already relies on for safe and optimized operations.
• Carries a Visible Why-Trail – Every recommendation reveals the underlying causal logic, from specific inputs and operational constraints through evaluated alternatives and associated uncertainty. This auditable decision trace creates a continuous improvement cycle, improving outcomes over time.
• Operates Inside the company’s Safety Management System (SMS) – built on the safety framework aviation already runs on via our patent-pending Aviation Intelligence SMS (AI-SMS).
• Human-centered Judgments – AI handles the volume. Customers select how much automation they need, with an assurance that humans remain in control of decision-making wherever necessary.

“We are leveraging decades of experience delivering data and software solutions globally, which compounds virtually every second on the 60 million flights we serve annually. But most importantly, our AI earns trust one decision at a time,” Surak added.

Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow aviation context graph is the most authoritative record of how aviation operates. When our AI reasons from this foundation, every output inherits that regulatory provenance that is purpose-built within Jeppesen ForeFlight’s AI SMS: encompassing hazard identification, safety trend analysis, predictive risk modeling, and the integration of operational data with safety records in ways traditional tools cannot support.

Operators interested in early co-development access should contact their Jeppesen ForeFlight account executive or visit ai.jeppesenforeflight.com.

About Jeppesen ForeFlight

Jeppesen ForeFlight provides the data, software, and insights that power every segment of aviation. Pilots, operators, and flight crews trust us to plan, navigate, monitor, and optimize more than 60 million commercial, military, business, and general aviation flights each year. Our platforms support crew, fleet, and flight planning; network and operations management; and flight deck solutions. Our navigation data remains the global standard. From inventing paper charts a century ago to leading today’s AI-enabled era, we deliver deep domain expertise with unmatched insights as the platform for the aviation industry.
