Rabobank in business

For many banks wishing to gain or enhance access to the daily 1.9 trillion USD foreign exchange market, credit-related issues often pose a significant barrier.

This particularly applies to financial institutions with:

• Limited risk appetite
• Balance sheet constraints
• A strong regional presence but limited global access             

Such banks need a solution that addresses their credit issues and facilitates global market access. EBS Prime enables customer banks to view and trade on the best prices available to the world's leading FX banks on EBS Spot, prices that might otherwise be unavailable to them, by enabling them to see the market through the pre-screened credit of an EBS Prime bank. 

The figure below explains the workings of EBS Prime Brokerage.

This gives EBS Prime customers increased opportunities to better service their own customer base by being able to execute orders as both makers and takers at the best prices in the market and at the same time increase their own revenue.

Why choose Rabobank?
Rabobank is the only EBS Prime bank with an S&P AAA credit rating. This puts us in the enviable position of being able to see and deal on up to 100% of the prices on the system. This in turn gives our EBS Prime customers access to more prices and deeper liquidity than any one else trading on EBS Spot.  

EBS Prime customers also trade with anonymity, as all transactions are matched with their EBS Prime bank giving the benefit of limited counterparty exposure. Therefore, you only have risk with Rabobank - one of the safest financial institutions in the world. There is only one way to know you are seeing the real market in FX and that is by being able to see 100% of the prices and depth on EBS.
