EBC Financial Group (EBC), a global multi-asset broker, has entered into a strategic partnership with Match2Pay to introduce seamless cryptocurrency deposit capabilities for its clients across Asia. The initiative reflects EBC’s commitment to bridging traditional and digital finance while enhancing accessibility for one of the world’s most crypto-active regions.
Bridging Traditional Finance and Asia’s Crypto Economy
Asia continues to lead the world in crypto adoption. Japan now reports over 12 million registered exchange accounts, while Thailand has rolled out state-backed crypto payment programs supporting retail use. Yet, millions of digital asset holders still face barriers when converting crypto into trading capital.
The partnership between EBC and Match2Pay directly addresses this gap by enabling direct crypto-to-fiat deposits through a unified gateway. Using Match2Pay’s infrastructure, EBC traders can fund their accounts with multiple cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, including USDT and Bitcoin, with near-instant conversion and settlement. The system operates 24/7, eliminating traditional banking delays and ensuring real-time transparency through blockchain verification.
Investor Takeaway
The partnership empowers Asia’s fast-growing crypto investor base to fund trading accounts instantly and securely—removing barriers between decentralized assets and regulated financial markets.
Empowering the Mobile-First Generation of Traders
The collaboration particularly benefits Asia’s mobile-first demographics, where smartphone penetration exceeds 80% across many Southeast Asian nations. For traders in regions affected by currency volatility, stablecoins have become reliable hedging tools. EBC’s integration with Match2Pay now lets users move directly from digital wallets to trading platforms in minutes, without the friction of intermediary conversions or wire transfers.
“At the heart of helping our clients rule the markets, we adapt our services to their needs,” said David Barrett, CEO of EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd. “By enabling direct crypto deposits, we are making our platform more accessible and flexible. This isn’t just about adding a payment method—it’s about building trust and providing efficient, secure trading infrastructure for the modern investor. Our partnership with Match2Pay ensures our systems evolve with market realities, giving traders the flexibility to deploy capital when it matters most.”
Key Features of the Integration
- 1:1 USDT-to-USD conversion with zero markup
- Instant Bitcoin confirmations and near-instant stablecoin deposits
- Five-layer security framework including cold wallet segregation
- Real-time blockchain transaction tracking for transparency
- EBC does not hold client crypto—Match2Pay’s secure gateway manages all conversions, eliminating custody risks
Investor Takeaway
EBC’s partnership with Match2Pay introduces the next evolution in crypto accessibility—instant, transparent, and compliant funding that aligns with Asia’s appetite for speed and mobility.
