Opening an account in Pepperstone

To open the real one you will need to:
- Complete the survey
- Fill an order
- Attach the requested documents. The list may vary, but an identifying document will be required. The broker considers documents that are too fresh to be suspicious and accepts forms issued at least six months ago.Only photos of documents on which they are fully visible are valid.
How to deposit and withdraw money
Like most official brokers, Pepperstone has restrictions on transfers to third parties. Therefore, you can only get money into a bank account opened under the same name as the trading account.
All commissions charged by the bank are paid by the client regardless of the withdrawal amount. The average cost is 20 Australian dollars. The withdrawal is made within 3-5 working days.
Replenishment is traditionally easier. In addition to bank transfers and cards, money will be accepted from PayPal and many electronic wallets, including locally common ones. The broker will offer a list of available sources of replenishment of the account in your personal account, taking into consideration the country of residence of the trader.
Conclusion about Pepperstone
The company is decent with official regulation. But maximum protection is available exclusively to residents of Australia.
