Pepperstone

What started in 2010 as a bold vision by a team of experienced traders has evolved into one of the world's most respected and largest online Forex and CFD brokers. Founders Owen Kerr and Joe Davenport established Pepperstone in Melbourne, Australia, driven by a shared frustration with the industry's status quo. They identified a significant gap in the market for a broker that could eliminate the common pain points of delayed executions, opaque pricing, and lackluster customer support. With a mission to improve the world of online trading, they set out to build a company that would champion the trader's needs, offering superior technology, low-cost spreads, and a genuine commitment to helping clients master the trade.

From its humble beginnings, Pepperstone rapidly expanded its global footprint, driven by a culture of innovation and a client-first approach. By 2015, the company had successfully opened offices in London, marking its strategic entry into the competitive European market. This growth trajectory continued with the establishment of regulated entities in key financial hubs including Dubai, Cyprus, the Bahamas, Kenya, and Germany, ensuring a robust, secure, and compliant trading environment for clients worldwide.

Today, led by Group CEO Tamas Szabo, Pepperstone combines the scale of a global fintech with the agility of a startup. The company processes billions of dollars in trades daily and supports hundreds of thousands of traders across the globe. Through its dedication to technological advancement—offering platforms like MetaTrader, cTrader, and TradingView—and its focus on education and market analysis, Pepperstone continues to empower ambitious traders to embrace the challenges and opportunities of the global markets.
