Which CFD brokers offer customer support in Cantonese?
Verdict
- Pepperstone is our pick for Hong Kong traders, but we cannot confirm Cantonese support: neither Pepperstone nor any other CFD broker we track publishes it.
- Pepperstone does run a Traditional Chinese version of its site (its own language tags point Traditional Chinese readers to it) and lists 24/7 contact by phone and email; other pages say 24 hours on weekdays and 18 at weekends.
- No Hong Kong phone number is published: the international contact page lists +61 3 9020 0155, a number labelled 'AU toll-free', and support@pepperstone.com.
- Capital.com and XS publish no Cantonese-support statement in our data; ask through live chat before opening an account.
For many Hong Kong traders, being able to sort out a margin call or a stuck withdrawal in Cantonese matters as much as the spread. We looked for a published commitment to Cantonese support from the brokers we cover and found none, so we will not invent one. Here is what Pepperstone, our recommended broker, does publish about support, and how to test the language question yourself in five minutes.
What Pepperstone publishes about support
Pepperstone's international site, which serves Hong Kong through Pepperstone Markets Limited (SCB Bahamas, SIA-F217), lists contact '24/7', with phone +61 3 9020 0155, a number labelled 'AU toll-free' (1786 628 1209) and support@pepperstone.com. Other Pepperstone pages describe support as 24 hours on weekdays and 18 hours at weekends by email, phone, WhatsApp or live chat, so expect fuller cover on weekdays. Its language tags point Traditional Chinese readers to a separate Traditional Chinese site. Whether a Cantonese speaker answers is not stated. We rank Pepperstone first for its published costs (Razor EUR/USD at a 0.1-pip average), HKD accounts and retail negative balance protection; it holds no SFC licence.

Test the language question yourself
- Open live chat or WhatsApp before you sign up and ask your question in Cantonese.
- Ask whether Cantonese is available by phone, and during which Hong Kong hours.
- Ask whether account documents and the client agreement are available in Traditional Chinese; the English version is usually the binding one.
- Save the reply; it shows what the broker committed to.
When language support matters most
- Margin calls and stop-outs during the Asian session, when you need a quick answer.
- Withdrawals held for identity or source-of-funds checks.
- Complaints: with an offshore broker your formal route runs to its home regulator, in English, so keep records clear.
