The EBC App Is Now Live: Professional Mobile Account Management, Built for All Traders

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.

‫«LIFEPODS» تكشف عن كبسولات النجاة من الجيل الجديد في VivaTech وEurosatory 2026

ابتكار صناعي فرنسي مصمَّم لمواجهة الأزمات القصوى

باريس، فرنسا, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — كشفت شركة Momentum Technologies، وهي شركة فرنسية ناشئة في مجال التكنولوجيا العميقة متخصصة في حلول الحماية والنجاة في مواجهة المخاطر الكبرى، رسميًا عن كبسولاتها LIFEPODS خلال نسختَي عام 2026 من معرضَي VivaTech (رواق الابتكار، من 17 إلى 20 يونيو) وEurosatory (القاعة 5B، الجناح E150، من 15 إلى 18 يونيو). وقد صُمِّمت هذه الكبسولات لتوفير ملاذ فوري عندما تصبح البنى التحتية التقليدية عاجزة، وتأتي بنموذجين: الكبسولة B-01 البرّية المتعددة المخاطر (التهديدات الباليستية والانفجارات والحرائق)، والكبسولة W-01 العائمة (الفيضانات والغمر وأمواج التسونامي والكوارث المناخية). وقد كُشف النقاب عن W-01 للمرة الأولى عالميًا بحجمها الحقيقي خلال معرض VivaTech 2026.

وبقيادة Cédric Choffat، الصناعي الفرنسي الذي يتمتع بخبرة تتجاوز 25 عامًا في علم المعادن الدقيق، تطوّر الشركة ملاجئ مستقلة تدمج عدة مستويات من الحماية ضمن بنية مدمجة: المقاومة الباليستية، والحماية من موجة الانفجار، والمقاومة الحرارية، والاحتواء، وإحكام العزل، وأنظمة النجاة المدمجة. وخلافًا للملاجئ الثابتة التقليدية، فإن كبسولات LIFEPODS متنقلة وقابلة للوضع في حاويات والنقل بالمروحيات والتكديس والنشر السريع، في المناطق الحضرية أو المواقع الصناعية أو البيئات المعزولة.
دخلت الكبسولة B-01 مرحلة التصنيع. وقد سمحت الاختبارات الباليستية على الألواح بالتحقق من معيار VPAM PM7 الدولي بالغ الصرامة؛ ومن المقرر إجراء عمليات التحقق النهائية على الكبسولة الكاملة في يونيو ويوليو 2026. أما الكبسولة W-01، التي طُوِّرت بالتعاون مع الشريك الأوروبي IWL YAMAHA GROUP، فتقوم على مقاربة هيدروديناميكية سلبية تُغلِّب المتانة واستقلالية النجاة. وتُعدّ اختبارات الطفو الأولى لها مشجِّعة للغاية.

وبعد حضور لافت في معرض CES في لاس فيغاس وفي MILIPOL، تدخل Momentum Technologies مرحلة مفصلية تتّسم باهتمام سوقي متنامٍ وأولى المحادثات التجارية الدولية.

«يؤكد السوق اليوم الاهتمام الاستراتيجي بحلولنا للصمود من الجيل الجديد. وهدفنا الآن هو تسريع التصنيع والحصول على الشهادات والنشر التجاري لكبسولاتنا»، يوضح Cédric Choffat، الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة Momentum Technologies.

وتعتبر الشركة أن مرحلة ما قبل التأسيس (pré-seed) قد انطلقت، وتعتزم فتح جولة تمويل من نوع Seed – Série A بين أواخر عام 2026 ومطلع عام 2027. لمزيد من المعلومات: https://lifepods.tech

LIFEPODS unveils its next-generation survival capsules at VivaTech and Eurosatory 2026

A French industrial innovation built for extreme crises

Paris, France, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Momentum Technologies, a French deeptech specialising in protection and survival solutions for major risks, officially presented its LIFEPODS capsules at the 2026 editions of VivaTech (Innovation Gallery, 17-20 June) and Eurosatory (Hall 5B, Stand E150, 15-18 June). Designed to provide an immediate refuge when conventional infrastructure becomes inoperative, they come in two models: the B-01, a multi-hazard land capsule (ballistic threats, explosions, fires), and the W-01, a floating capsule (flooding, submersion, tsunami, climate disaster). The W-01 was unveiled to the world for the first time at full scale during VivaTech 2026.

Driven by Cédric Choffat, a French industrialist with more than 25 years of experience in precision metallurgy, the company develops self-sufficient shelters combining several layers of protection within a compact architecture: ballistic resistance, blast protection, thermal resistance, containment, watertightness and on-board survival systems. Unlike traditional fixed shelters, LIFEPODS capsules are mobile, containerisable, helicopter-transportable, stackable and rapidly deployable in urban areas, on industrial sites or in remote environments.

The B-01 has entered its industrialisation phase. Ballistic tests on panels have validated the demanding international VPAM PM7 standard, with final validations on the complete capsule scheduled for June and July 2026. The W-01, developed with European partner IWL YAMAHA GROUP, relies on a passive hydrodynamic approach prioritising robustness and survival autonomy. Its first buoyancy trials are considered very encouraging.

After a strong showing at CES Las Vegas and MILIPOL, Momentum Technologies is entering a pivotal phase, marked by growing market interest and first international commercial discussions.

“The market is confirming the strategic interest in our next-generation resilience solutions. Our objective is now to accelerate industrialisation, certifications and the commercial deployment of our capsules,” explains Cédric Choffat, CEO of Momentum Technologies.

The company considers its pre-seed phase to be under way and plans to open a Seed–Series A funding round between late 2026 and early 2027. Find out more: https://lifepods.tech

VertiGIS Neo Enters its Next Phase, Powering Real-Time, AI-Driven Geospatial Workflows

VertiGIS Neo’s AI-driven capabilities will be showcased at the Esri User Conference, July 13-17 in San Diego

London, UK. 7th July 2026 — VertiGIS, a global leader in geospatial solutions, today announced the next phase of VertiGIS Neo, its cloud-centric, web-based, mobile-ready AI-enabled suite of solutions. Neo operationalises AI across live geospatial workflows, empowering utilities, fibre and infrastructure operators to move from static mapping to real-time decision-making.

At the heart of Neo’s evolving AI capabilities, VertiGIS empowers teams to provide a faster, more reliable service delivery. It automates complex tasks, lowers barriers to expertise, and simplifies specialist capabilities into everyday tools. This enables customers to address some of the biggest asset management challenges, from asset maintenance and outage response to network planning and field operations.

Delivering an AI-Enabled Platform
VertiGIS Neo unifies the solutions portfolio, including VertiGIS Networks, VertiGIS Studio, VertiGIS ConnectMaster and VertiGIS FM, under a cohesive architecture designed for cloud, web and mobile-first delivery. It connects applications, data and workflows into a single, intelligent system.

By turning spatial data into operational insight, it enables organisations to forecast demand, optimise infrastructure placement and balance network loads, supporting smarter expansion and more sustainable operations. Neo incorporates advanced location master data management (LMDM) capabilities to help organisations create, validate and maintain high-quality spatial data cross their networks.

Combining flexible deployment options such as cloud, on-premises, or a hybrid approach, VertiGIS Neo supports customers in modernising at their own pace, while reducing total cost of ownership. In addition, with data validation, quality, assurance and multi-source data integration, VertiGIS Neo provides a governed, reliable connected intelligence layer for every workflow.

“Organisations managing complex networks need more than isolated tools; they need a platform that connects data, people, and processes across the entire asset lifecycle. VertiGIS Neo delivers this as a unified, AI-enabled platform, transforming how organisations turn geospatial data into faster, smarter, and more resilient operations,” said Drew Millen, Chief Technology Officer at VertiGIS.

A Connected Intelligence Layer for Real-World Impact
With VertiGIS’ recent acquisition of 1Spatial, Neo narrows the gap between the robust geospatial data foundation and operational decision-making. By strengthening the link between AI and data quality, AI tools are more effective, scalable and deployable.

“This reinforces our long-term differentiation through trusted geospatial data, strong governance, and AI readiness, and positions VertiGIS as the partner of choice for organisations operating in regulated, data-intensive environments,” adds Millen.

Integrating with core enterprise systems in broader geospatial environments, VertiGIS Neo directly addresses some of the issues that constrain the effectiveness of AI solutions – including data fragmentation; weak governance frameworks; and poor data quality. By delivering a connected intelligence layer, where data moves in real-time across systems, teams and environments, VertiGIS Neo removes the lag between data capture and decision-making, allowing AI to be scaled in complex infrastructure environments.

This enables customers to turn governed data into actionable intelligence. It empowers organisations to move from reactive workflows to predictive, insight-driven operations.

Built for Scalable, Responsible AI Adoption
With customers already using AI within VertiGIS solutions – such as VertiGIS Studio and FM – to solve real geospatial challenges, VertiGIS Neo underpins VertiGIS’ long-term AI strategy, enabling organisations to scale AI with confidence. It demonstrates VertiGIS’ focus on practical, deployable AI-enabled solutions that are built on governed environments, secure data handling and human-in-the-loop workflows that are both scalable and trusted in mission-critical environments.

VertiGIS’ positioning is supported by a recent independent study by PwC, which highlights a broader industry shift where geospatial technology is evolving from a system of record into a core platform for real-time, insight-driven operations.

VertiGIS Neo will be showcased at the Esri User Conference, 13-17 July 2026 in San Diego (VertiGIS booth #1219). Following closely on from the 1Spatial acquisition, the launch signals VertiGIS’ accelerated pace of innovation, enabling organisations to transition from static geospatial systems to intelligent, adaptive AI-driven workflows.

Bitget Upgrades Institutional Trading Framework to Power the Next Phase of Multi-Asset Markets

Bitget Upgrades Institutional Trading Framework to Power the Next Phase of Multi-Asset Markets

Bitget Upgrades Institutional Trading Framework to Power the Next Phase of Multi-Asset Markets

VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has introduced an upgraded institutional pricing framework for its PRO and Liquidity Incentive Programs, enhancing trading costs, liquidity incentives, and market structure across crypto and traditional financial markets. Effective June 30, the update introduces a more sophisticated fee model designed to better support institutional traders, market makers, and liquidity providers participating across an increasingly diverse range of assets.

As institutional participation expands beyond major crypto into tokenized real world assets, exchanges are increasingly required to support different liquidity dynamics across different markets. Bitget’s latest upgrade reflects this evolution through a more granular pricing structure that aligns incentives with the characteristics of each market while improving execution quality across the platform.

“Markets are becoming increasingly connected, and institutions are adapting to that reality,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “They’re focused on where they can deploy capital most efficiently, not whether an opportunity sits in crypto or traditional finance. Our job is to build the infrastructure that makes moving between those markets feel seamless.”

A central feature of the upgrade is a revised market grouping framework. In spot markets, trading pairs are divided into two groups: Group A for top trading pairs such as BTCUSDT, XAUTUSDT, SOLUSDT, and other major assets, and Group B for all other spot trading pairs, including newly listed spot pairs. In futures markets, the structure expands to three groups: Group A for top crypto futures pairs, Group B for other crypto futures pairs and newly listed crypto futures, and Group C for TradFi futures, covering stock, precious metal, commodity, and index futures.

For institutional traders, the update introduces tiered taker pricing within the Bitget PRO program, creating a more transparent cost structure based on trading activity. For liquidity providers, Bitget has strengthened incentives for long-tail markets by increasing spot maker rebates on selected trading pairs from 1.2 basis points to 1.5 basis points, while futures maker rebates on selected long-tail contracts have increased from 0.8 basis points to 1.0 basis point. The platform also maintains its industry-leading 0.65 basis point taker fee for TradFi futures, including tokenized stock, commodity, and precious metal contracts.

Beyond pricing, the revised framework introduces updated market-making assessment methodologies and weighted liquidity metrics that place greater emphasis on supporting emerging markets while maintaining deep liquidity across flagship assets. The result is a more balanced incentive structure that rewards meaningful liquidity contributions across the full breadth of Bitget’s multi-asset ecosystem.

The update builds on Bitget’s continued investment in institutional infrastructure following recent expansions across tokenized stocks and equity offerings. As the Universal Exchange continues bringing together crypto, tokenized assets, and traditional financial markets within a single trading environment, Bitget is developing the execution, liquidity and pricing infrastructure required to support the next generation of institutional trading.

About Bitget

Bitget is the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), serving over 125 million users and offering access to over 2M crypto tokens, 500+ tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, FX, and precious metals such as gold.
