Pepperstone has 6 licences on record with Wikilix, issued by 6 authorities across 6 jurisdictions. 5 of them were issued by tier-1 or tier-2 authorities — the regimes with the strictest capital, reporting and client-money rules.

One licence comes from an authority classed as offshore. An offshore regime can be a legitimate registration, but it typically carries lower capital requirements and no compensation scheme.
