When Was
Pepperstone Founded?
Pepperstone was founded in 2010 by a veteran management-team with years of experience in the forex and technology industries. The company is based in Melbourne, Australia.
Why Was
Pepperstone Created?
Pepperstone was created because its management team sensed a growing frustration among traders using traditional, online-based forex trading firms plagued by delays in trade executions, excessive spreads, and poor customer-support. To provide a better trading experience, Pepperstone provides superior technology that uses fast executions, low spreads, and intelligent customer-service. While Pepperstone is a new entity, its management team comes from a solid pedigree that knows the industry and what retail forex-traders need to trade effectively. Pepperstone is not content by keeping up with developments in the forex world - we constantly improve, create, develop, and introduce our own solutions. This is consistent with our goal - to make forex trading fairer, more professional, and convenient for traders.
Our Vision
Pepperstone is spearheading the evolution of online forex, helping this asset-class to become more accessible to the individual retail-investor. We aim to revolutionize the industry by offering traders better service, spreads and execution.
