Is Pepperstone regulated in the UAE?
Partly. Pepperstone Financial Services (DIFC) Limited is authorised in the UAE to arrange deals (DFSA, F004356 · arranging deals), which is different from executing trades or holding client money.

Pepperstone’s UAE account pages distinguish Standard pricing from Razor pricing. Standard forex pricing includes a spread markup; Razor uses raw spreads plus commission. A comparison should use the same instrument, platform, trade size and holding period rather than a headline minimum spread.
Pepperstone accounts, platforms and fees
The UAE platform page lists MT4, MT5, cTrader, TradingView and Pepperstone’s own platform. The account page says TradingView is available for Razor, while the Standard list omits it. It states a minimum funding amount of US$10 or local equivalent, rather than an obligation to fund an account.
