Check your contracting entity, its official register and written protections. A brand or demo account does not guarantee your capital.
The best broker depends on your country, platform, product and total cost. We compare verifiable differences to help you choose; an IB commission does not determine a winner.
Pepperstone
Standard and Razor accounts. TradingView is available with Razor; compare platform, commissions and entity before choosing.
Standard and Razor. The reviewed table reserves TradingView for Razor; MT4, MT5, cTrader and Pepperstone's platform appear for both.
Standard includes costs in spreads, except share CFDs and overnight funding. Razor separates spread and commission on FX and XAU/USD; charges depend on instrument, platform and currency.
This table reflects our IB program routes. Accepting an application is not local regulatory authorization or a guarantee of account approval. Confirm residence, entity and documents in the broker's form.
How to assess safety without an absolute promise
Copy the legal entity from the contract shown for your residence.
Find that entity and license number in the stated regulator's register. Check the domain and service scope as well.
Read segregation, negative balance, complaints, jurisdiction and any compensation scheme. Do not transfer a European entity's protections to an international account.
A license does not eliminate market losses. Avoid guaranteed-profit claims and use official channels.
We do not publish a universal license or safety score: the customer's entity must be confirmed when contracting.
