The entity is based in Melbourne, Australia and caters to algorithmic and copy traders. It offers the MetaTrader, TradingView and cTrader platforms. In addition, Pepperstone provides several premium add-ons to the platform to enhance the MetaTrader offering. Our opinion of Pepperstone is better than the industry average, but it still lags behind leaders such as IG or XTB. Pepperstone offers a small selection of products that it curates with great care. That said, prices are competitive for active traders on Pepperstone's Razor accounts, while for retail traders they are in line with the industry average. Pepperstone is regulated by 7 top-level regulators: ASIC, CySEC, FCA, SCB, DFSA, CMA, BaFIN. For customer security Pepperstone has segregated accounts with one of the largest banking institutions in the UK, Barclays Bank.
