Pepperstone broker regulators

Pepperstone was established in Australia in 2010 and is now one of the largest MetaTrader brokers in the world. The broker has received multiple awards for customer service and competitive spreads, most recently securing a double win at the Professional Trader Awards 2020.

Such success has seen the company more than double in size over the last two years and has now expanded into vibrant new markets in Germany, Cyprus, Dubai, Kenya and the Bahamas. The additional licenses with BaFin, CySec, DFSA, CMA and SCB, bring the broker’s total number of licenses up to seven.

Pepperstone’s expansion into Europe has been particularly exciting ahead of Brexit, as Cyprus and Germany are both European Union members, and brokers licensed by any membership country must adhere to both national law and applicable European Union trader protection rules.

The broker has reassured clients that they have no plans for slowing and will continue to deliver the best quality pricing, speed and service. If you want to start trading with Pepperstone, head to the website to find out more about the broker’s range of assets and services on offer.
