BCB Group Improvements and Releases March 2025 Q1 has been a big start to the year for the team at BCB and we wanted to share some of the highlights from the first few months of 2025. Q1 2025 BCB Product Highlights 🇺🇲Extended payment processing times for USD payments Focusing on enabling your business access to a key market like the US, has and continues to be a priority for us. Following a soft launch in December, our most recent enhancement to our USD payments account has extended the payment processing times for domestic and international payments to 9:30pm (UK). Previously it was 5pm (UK). This change better aligns to US banking hours, opening up a larger operating window in a key global market. 🇦🇺 Instant Payment rails (NPP) for Australian Dollars The release of our AUD payments account in 2024, enabled payments made via BECs (Australia’s bulk electronic clearing system). Clients with an AUD account can now also make payments and receive deposits through NPP. New Payments Platform or NPP is Australia’s national fast payments infrastructure that enables real-time payments, 24/7. Access to NPP means faster payments, streamlining transactions and improving efficiency for you and your clients. 💻 Reset 2FA in the client console Whilst new product functionality is important, we recognise the day to day and freeing up time for your teams is also critical. That’s why we continue to focus on enabling more self-service. Administrators can now reset 2FA (two factor authentication) for members of their team in our client console. 🇪🇺 EUR International Gets A Makeover We’ve also given international payments via our EUR payments account an overhaul. These changes mean transfers in your own name, extended payment cut-off times to 3pm (UK), faster settlement and quicker transaction processing, ensuring your funds settle sooner. ↔️ Straight through processing for trading Continuing the theme of automation, we’ve also invested in automating trading withdrawals. If you need to send funds from your trading account, initiating this directly from the BCB Markets trading UI (as opposed to via our Trading Ops team) means withdrawals from your trading account will now benefit from straight through processing. This means faster settlement, getting funds where you need them sooner. 💲Sharper pricing for AUD trading pairs Last but not least, we’re also able to offer improved pricing for AUD pairs. Whether you’re trading AUD with fiat or crypto pairs, our trading team can offer market leading pricing. Standard with our trading product is access to our trading desk as well as access to the trading console for self-serve. Get in touch if you want to know more. Contact your account manager if you want to know more! bcbgroup.com/insights/bcb-gr…..

🚨News Alert: It has always been BCB Group’s aim to be an integral part of the global payments system. That ambition took another step forward yesterday with the announcement by stablecoin issuer Circle of its new Circle Payments Network (CPN). CPN creates a network of fintech operators and global banks, and we are delighted to be part of this ambitious project as a design partner. Driving stablecoin adoption and expanding the use cases for stablecoin payments is a core part of BCB Group’s strategy of integrating digital assets and payments with traditional banking and financial networks. Our partnership with Circle also reflects our commitment to a ‘regulatory first’ approach. Like us, Circle is committed to compliance with EU regulations, compliance and transparency. Integrating tradfi and digital payments while working with evolving regulations is the key to delivering transformative payments services to global businesses - and for creating value for our investors.
