Ways to trade

Compare CFD trading accounts

Whatever your trading style or experience level, we have a trading account type to suit you.

What account types are available with Pepperstone?

We offer two CFD account types, both of which can be accessed via our in-house platform and app – or via our seamless integrations with leading third-party technology. The key difference between them is in the way you’re charged for trading CFDs on FX markets.

You can find out more about our pricing here.

If you need help deciding which account type is right for you, take a look at our FAQs below or get in touch.
