When you open a bank account, you usually need to take some ID into the bank branch. Pepperstone is no different. We’re a regulated financial institution, so we need to know our customers and who's using our service.

We usually verify your identity with some photo ID and proof of address document/s. So depending on where you’re from and the type of account you are opening, we'll ask for you to verify your identity. If you are opening an account for a corporation, we also need to verify all information about the entity.

We’ll let you know exactly what kind of documents we need as you fill out your application.

  2. The document must be legible and not blurry, and show all 4 corners

  4. The document must be a coloured copy

A valid Proof of Address:
