The FSCA number some sites list for Pepperstone belongs to a different company

FSP 46862 is registered to CHS Claims Handling Services (Pty) Ltd, not Pepperstone.

A third-party broker list gives Pepperstone's FSCA number as 46862. On 16 October 2026 we looked it up on the FSCA's FAIS register: 46862 is CHS Claims Handling Services (Pty) Ltd.

Pepperstone's own regulation page lists FCA, ASIC, DFSA, CySEC, CMA, SCB and BaFin, and no FSCA licence.

Why it matters

Copied licence numbers spread fast across comparison sites. Always check a number against the regulator's register, not a review site — including this one.
