The prestigious award ceremony for the FX and CFD industry saw Pepperstone win two categories, those being Best Global Forex ECN Broker award, as well as the Best Trading Support (Europe) award

One of Australia’s most well renowned FX and CFD brokerages has been presented with two accolades at the Global Forex Awards 2019.

Pepperstone, which since its establishment in Melbourne in 2010 has risen to prominence globally, gained recognition by accepting the Best Global Forex ECN Broker award, as well as the Best Trading Support (Europe) award at the annual ceremony this month.

The Global Forex Awards 2019, which were held this year in Limassol on 4 October 2019, celebrate excellence in the financial industry by giving awards to the best providers, as voted for by the public.

Pepperstone commented on the result, stating “We’re proud to have been named Best Global Forex ECN Broker and Best Forex Trading Support (Europe) at the Global Forex Awards 2019. This is a fantastic achievement for us but couldn’t have been made possible without our valued clients. Thank you for taking the time to vote for us.”

Obtaining two awards at this and many other annual presentations for the FX brokerage industry is a rarity, and comes at a poignant time for the FX business globally.

Pepperstone’s international expansion has been of significance, with the company having opened an office in London to serve the British and European markets this year.
