EC Markets UK Revenue Nearly Doubles to $6.3M in 2025

EC Markets’ UK subsidiary nearly doubled its revenue in 2025, reporting more than $6.3 million against $3.2 million a year earlier, according to Financemagnates. The UK-registered entity said in its Companies House filing that the entire sum was generated domestically and was booked as management services.

The filing also detailed how that income was earned. Financemagnates reported that the company described its main activity as an execution-only brokerage for CFDs and rolling spot forex, authorised and regulated by the FCA. It added that risk management services were provided to an affiliated regulated broker for a fixed monthly fee, an arrangement the filing said created an unregulated income stream.

Key facts

• UK revenue rose to more than $6.3 million in 2025 from $3.2 million the previous year.
• Operating profit exceeded $1 million, up from $614,622, after administrative expenses.
• Net profit for the year was $986,885.
• Headcount at year end was 18 staff, up from 11, contributing to higher administrative costs.
• EC Markets holds regulatory authorisation in Australia, South Africa, Mauritius, Seychelles and the UAE alongside its FCA licence.

A small unit with a large parent

The UK entity’s figures are modest next to the group’s trading activity. Financemagnates reported that EC Markets recorded the highest average monthly trading volume of any broker in the second quarter of 2026, at $2.11 trillion, and that the broker later said its quarterly volume reached $6.34 trillion, up 23.6% from the previous three months, with about 322,000 active traders. Those company figures have not been independently audited.

The revenue mix described in the filing points to a structure common among groups that combine a regulated brokerage with affiliated service companies: the regulated UK arm books fees for services rendered, including risk management for a connected broker, rather than only client-facing trading revenue. That is what the filing means by an unregulated income stream, and it is the line that grew sharply year on year.

Why it matters

The filing gives a rare audited view into the UK footprint of a broker that trades at a scale far beyond its London headcount. For a UK-regulated CFD and spot forex business, 18 staff handling execution and risk functions reflects a lean operation, with the heavier trading volumes distributed across the group’s other licensed entities.

For clients and counterparties, the relevant detail is regulatory scope rather than revenue: the UK entity is FCA-authorised for execution-only brokerage, while the group’s wider activity spans jurisdictions where disclosure standards differ. Comparing 2025 with 2024, both profit lines and staff costs moved in the same direction, which the filing attributes to rising administrative expenses.

What to watch

The next check on this story is the group’s own reporting cadence: after a record second quarter in 2026, further quarterly volume updates from EC Markets will show whether the trajectory that lifted trading activity also feeds through to the UK unit’s service-fee income when its next Companies House filing lands.
