Highly recommend

I've worked with pepperstone for the last few months and I would recommend it.Great improvement from my previous broker. Fast customer support, quick withdrawals, no scammy behaviour. Gives you peace of mind so you can focus on your trading without stressing, which to me is very important.

Excellent Broker with Reliable Withdrawals and Outstanding Support

I've been trading with Pepperstone for a while now, and my experience has been excellent from start to finish. I've already completed more than 10 withdrawals, all of which were processed smoothly and without any issues. That level of consistency has given me a lot of confidence that my funds are safe.

As a trader based in Kenya, I wouldn't choose any other regulated broker. Pepperstone has earned my trust through reliable execution, transparent operations, and hassle-free withdrawals.

A special mention goes to my account manager, Humphrey, who has been incredibly supportive throughout. His communication is excellent, he's always approachable, and he's been quick to help whenever I've had questions.

The support team has also been efficient and responsive. Even getting my trading account linked to a rebate program was a smooth process thanks to their assistance.

Overall, Pepperstone has consistently delivered a professional trading experience, and I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, well-regulated broker.

Worst broker I've ever dealt with. ⚠️ Your heart earned money is not safe with pepperstone. Keep off.

Worst broker I've ever dealt with.

My withdrawal never reached my bank, even though all my banking details were correct. Instead of taking responsibility and resolving the issue, I was told to contact my bank. My bank confirmed they never received the funds, yet I was left going back and forth with no solution.

Customer support is painfully slow. They kept telling me they would get back to me within two business days, but those follow-ups never came. After more than 8 months, my withdrawal is still unresolved.

It's not about the amount—it's about accountability. If a broker can't properly handle a small withdrawal or keep its promises, I have no confidence trusting it with larger amounts.

I cannot recommend Pepperstone based on my experience.

Dear Boniface,
Thank you for sharing this, and we understand how stressful it is to have a withdrawal unresolved for this long — we always take feedback like this seriously, and accountability for our clients' funds matters greatly to us.
We want you to know that we've already provided you with the ARN (Acquirer Reference Number) to help trace the transaction with your bank, and we remain committed to working this through with you until it's fully resolved.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team directly at support@pepperstone.com,

I have recently joined Pepperstone

I have recently joined Pepperstone, utilising Trading View also, to take advantage of spread betting. The charts take a little bit of practice, but the customer service more than makes up for that. I specialise in Gold and Dax. Start with a demo account, and be in no hurry to switch to live trading. Never rush. I also use AI more and more. Just use the "ask AI" button and you will truly be astonished by the amount and depth of the response. Also, Pepperstone supports Fenando Alonso in FI (my favourite). What could go wrong??

Thank you so much for the 4 stars and for such a thoughtful review! It's great to hear you're settling in well with TradingView and spread betting, and that our customer service has made the learning curve on charting easier.
Glad you're enjoying the "Ask AI" feature too. We'd love to know what would earn that 5th star from you.

⭐☆☆☆☆ (1/5)

⭐☆☆☆☆ (1/5)

I have been a Pepperstone client for some time, and my experience during the recent complaint process has been disappointing.

After my MT5 account was migrated from PepperstoneEU-Live to PepperstoneBS-MT5-Live01, I noticed what I believed to be a persistent change in my trading conditions, particularly regarding spreads. I submitted a formal complaint and requested a comparison of the effective spreads actually delivered to my Standard account before and after the migration.

Initially, Pepperstone provided spread figures which they described as the “average spreads delivered to your account.” After I questioned the numbers, they later admitted that these figures were actually raw liquidity-provider pricing before the Standard account markup, based on aggregate Pepperstone pricing, and not the actual spreads delivered to my individual account.

I also raised concerns regarding swap charges. Pepperstone initially described certain swap values as the “Exact final USD swap debit posted to each position.” After I requested the supporting records, they later acknowledged that those figures were reconstructed calculations based on an approximate conversion rate, rather than the actual unrounded server-posted values.

To their credit, the support team remained polite, responded promptly, and eventually clarified several important points after repeated follow-up. However, I found it disappointing that key explanations required multiple rounds of correspondence before the limitations of the original data were disclosed.

My concern is not about losing trades or normal market volatility. My concern is about the quality and transparency of the complaint investigation. If conclusions are presented as being based on account-level evidence, I believe they should actually be supported by account-level data.

My advice to other traders:

* Save screenshots of your spreads and trading conditions regularly.
* Keep copies of all account statements and emails.
* If your account is migrated to a different server or regulatory entity, request written confirmation of any impact on trading conditions.
* If you file a complaint, ask specifically whether the data provided is based on your own account or on aggregate pricing.

I believe transparency and accurate communication are essential, especially when investigating trading costs that directly affect clients.

Dear Mohammed,
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and considered account of your experience. We genuinely appreciate the care and thoroughness with which you have articulated your concerns, and we are sorry that the complaint process did not meet the standard of transparency you rightly expected.
You raise important and legitimate points. When a client submits a formal complaint, the data provided in response should be clearly labelled, accurate, and wherever possible, account-specific. We acknowledge that in your case, the initial communications lacked that clarity, and that key limitations of the data were only disclosed after repeated follow-up. This is not the standard we hold ourselves to, and we sincerely apologise.
Your feedback regarding the complaint process, the quality of data disclosure, and the importance of account-level evidence has been escalated internally and will be reviewed seriously. We are committed to improving how we handle and communicate complaint investigations.
We also want to thank you for the practical advice you have shared with other traders — it reflects a genuine commitment to the trading community that we respect.
If you would like to continue this conversation or have any outstanding concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly at support@pepperstone.com and we will do our best to assist you.

Clear and helpful support

Pepperstone support was helpful in explaining my withdrawal issue. At first I was confused about the remaining deposit refund requirement, but their staff followed up by email and phone, explained the matter clearly, and helped me understand what action was needed. I appreciate the support and clear communication.
