Pepperstone’s customer service is the worse

Pepperstone’s customer service has been extremely disappointing. I sent an email on 11/08/2026 with all the required details requesting a Financial Year statement, but received no response. I followed up with another email on 26/08/2026, and still have not received any reply at all.

Opening the account with Pepperstone was very easy. Their representative John was so helpful and provided all information about the account and documents required.

They refused Withdrawals almost a month now

Pepperstone was so good & reliable, but now they are Thieves.I tried to get my withdrawal for the whole month,but they beat on the bush more than 15 withdrawals attempts Pepperstone rejected all similar as they did to (Claire Lawrence 's Son )they told me that my bank block international transactions or restrict payment, I gone to the bank many times , but other Trading Broker able to pay me in the very similar bank, pepperstone told me to deposit with Skrill the small amount and withdraw after that using Skrill I did that on the 3/09/2026 but now if I try to do withdrawal all withdrawal methods are in active including the Skrill, maybe we supposed to accept that Pepperstone now is a SCAM.
I do not recommend it to anyone , do not undergo the pain that I feel right now, they deactivated withdrawal function, but deposits are allowed. (my pepperstone account number 51349715)
STAY AWAY FROM THESE THIEVES PLZ,
......................................................
(Edited 5September 2026)I received the email from trustpilot about this email said I supposed to add more clarity to pepperstone about this message otherwise will taken offline I gave pepperstone my valid e-mail , full names, trading account , the need a reference off which they confusing me about this reference thing in order to remove my genuine review

Dear Claire,
We understand how concerning it is when access to funds takes longer than expected, particularly when a complaint has already been raised and a clear resolution is still awaited.
Pepperstone takes withdrawal concerns seriously and is committed to treating every client fairly. However, for privacy and account-security reasons, we can only discuss the matter directly with the verified account holder.
We kindly ask your son to contact us from his registered email address at support@pepperstone.com so our team can review the current status and provide the appropriate assistance.

Unstable Platform for Weeks

For weeks and weeks now the Platform has been unstable that has caused clients to not be able to login. I cannot do anything within the account and my positions. The has never been a reason given except to say that they are sorry and that they are working on it. No one from management fronts up, it is left to to the front line staff to throw out the same line each time. Unfortunately the team there cannot seem to get a handle on it. The current issue has been going on for hours, the last outage was for 2 days. No one will answer the phones. An account manager that did eventually contact me after (me) pushing for someone to call had no idea what had happened, or was happening. No one is taking responsibility and for a company that I thought was Australian I am deeply disappointed. While staff are polite, that can only go so far as people actually want to know what is going on. It is their money after-all and currently it looks like Pepperstone have forgotten that

The service operated adequately; however, customer assistance was frequently delayed. My assessment of Ten of Ten was generally favorable, although this support provided did not fully satisfy my expectations.

Almost 3 months and my chargeback is still unresolved

I believe I was deliberately defrauded by third parties who gained my trust, manipulated me into making deposits, directed the trading activity, and repeatedly assured me in writing via WhatsApp that any losses would be personally covered.

Based on these representations, I deposited a total of USD 2,500 into a Pepperstone account. After the funds were lost, the promises were not honored, communication was cut off, and I was ultimately blocked.

I reported the matter to the relevant authorities and provided the supporting evidence and legal documentation. The matter is currently under legal review.

I also submitted a chargeback request through my bank. **It has now been almost three months, and the dispute still has not reached a final resolution.**

Pepperstone initially asked me to withdraw the chargeback, stating that the deposits were authorized and that the losses resulted from normal market trading. However, my dispute is not simply about losing money through trading. It concerns the circumstances and third-party representations that led me to make these deposits.

Pepperstone has confirmed that the chargeback remains ongoing and is being reviewed through the relevant banking channels, but I am still waiting for a final outcome.

I understand that financial disputes can take time to investigate. However, almost three months without a resolution has been extremely frustrating, especially when the matter involves alleged fraud and significant financial loss.

I am sharing my experience so that other customers are aware of my situation. I hope this matter will finally be resolved and that I will receive a clear outcome.

Dear Mari,
We recognise the seriousness of the circumstances described and understand how distressing it is to believe that you were misled by third parties.
Pepperstone does not authorise external individuals to guarantee profits, promise reimbursement for trading losses or direct clients’ trading activity through private WhatsApp arrangements. Any such representations should not be considered official Pepperstone commitments. Reports involving suspected impersonation or third-party misconduct are treated seriously and reviewed through the appropriate channels.
It is also important to distinguish the alleged conduct of those third parties from the chargeback process. Once a chargeback is submitted through a bank, it is managed between the relevant financial institutions and card-scheme channels. Pepperstone may be required to provide transaction and account records, but we do not independently determine the timeframe or final outcome of the dispute.
We understand that waiting for a decision is frustrating; however, the matter must be allowed to proceed through the formal banking and legal review processes. As this case involves sensitive financial information and ongoing proceedings, we cannot discuss its evidence or merits publicly.
We remain available to cooperate with the authorized institutions reviewing the matter and will communicate any update we are permitted to share directly with the verified account holder.
Please don’t hesitate to contact our support team directly at support@pepperstone.com, quoting your existing case reference.

I've been using Pepperstone for some years now; I can say it's my favorite broker. Their support team always answers promptly, and they're able to solve any issues I've had.

I highly recommend them. If you have a big amount of money invested with them, enable 2FA.

I’m giving Pepperstone 3 stars.

I’m giving Pepperstone 3 stars.

My experience was on 18 August 2026, when I requested a withdrawal of $1,000.

While Pepperstone offers excellent spreads, leverage, and competitive trading commissions, the way my withdrawal was handled was extremely concerning and raised serious doubts for me. The process was unusually slow and unclear, which made me uncomfortable with how the withdrawal was being handled.

For a broker with Pepperstone’s reputation, I expected a much faster and more transparent withdrawal process.
