    Fees and Charges

    Having started commissions with $3.50 and their lowest spreads from 0.0 pips with Razor accounts, Pepperstone boils it down as easy as "Razor has commissions, and Standard does not." Pepperstone charges overnight swap fees with known rates on its Islamic accounts, thereby exempted from swap charges. This fee is incurred after 180 days of account dormancy.

    After being persuaded to invest, my deposit still hasn't shown up in my account, which remains at a zero balance. The support representative, Linda Nkartha, who was previously in constant contact, is now unresponsive and not addressing the problem. This feels like a scam; my deposit went through, but it's not appearing in my account.

    Rano provided excellent assistance in clarifying the margin requirements and how to use the margin calculator. They addressed all of my inquiries thoroughly and effectively.
