Product coverage
Fees & pricing in brief
Pricing is competitive on major FX pairs and index CFDs. Share CFDs usually use a commission model, while FX and
indices are spread-based (plus financing for overnight positions). Your exact pricing depends on account type and region.
Below, we standardize two views:
• Spreads & commissions on a few popular markets
• Account fees (deposit/withdrawal, monthly account fee, inactivity fee) with a mini peer comparison
Fees & spreads
Always verify current fees on the broker’s site.
Account fees
Platforms & tools
Pepperstone leans on third-party platforms (MT4/MT5, cTrader, and often TradingView) alongside mobile apps.
If you prefer a specific platform or advanced algo features, check regional availability before you open.
Research & education
You’ll find daily market notes, calendars, and platform guides covering execution basics and risk management.
It’s sufficient for most new traders; experienced users typically add their own tools and data.
Funding, onboarding & account types
Account opening is online and generally quick after KYC. Funding options vary by country; cards and bank
transfer are common. Fees are shown in-app before you submit a deposit or withdrawal.
Regulation & safety
Pepperstone operates through multiple regulated entities. Investor protections and leverage caps depend on
where your account is onboarded. CFDs are complex instruments—read local risk disclosures carefully.
Who Pepperstone is (and isn’t) for
Good fit: traders who want fast execution and familiar third-party platforms with broad FX/indices coverage.
Less ideal: traders seeking niche markets, deeply integrated in-house research suites, or guaranteed lowest
spreads at all times.
