Which UK brokers offer phone and live chat support?
Verdict
- Pepperstone is our pick: its UK site lists phone support on 0800 046 5473, live chat, WhatsApp and email (support@pepperstone.com).
- Its hours are stated two ways: 24 hours on weekdays and 18 hours at weekends on the accounts page, '24/7' on the contact page.
- We have not verified the support channels of other UK brokers from their own pages, so we don't list them here; test any broker's chat before you deposit.
- Capital.com is our second choice for UK traders who also want guaranteed stops.
When a position is open and something looks wrong, you want a person on the phone, not a ticket form. Pepperstone publishes a UK freephone number and live chat, which is why it's our pick here.

Phone or live chat: which helps with what
| Problem | Best channel | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Position or order issue during market hours | Phone | Fastest way to explain a live problem |
| Deposit or withdrawal status | Live chat or WhatsApp | You can paste references and amounts |
| Fee or terms question | You get the answer in writing | |
| Complaint | Email, then the formal complaints route | Creates a dated record |
Test support before you fund
Any broker's support claim is easy to check. Open chat before you deposit and ask a precise question whose answer you can verify. A good test at Pepperstone: its UK withdrawals table lists bank transfers as free, while its costs FAQ mentions a £15 fee for international wires. A clear, specific answer tells you more about the service than a review score.
- Ask one factual question by live chat and time the reply.
- Call the phone line at the time of day you usually trade.
- Keep the answers; they help if you ever need to complain.
Other UK brokers
We have verified regulation, costs and order types for Capital.com, IG, CMC Markets, Spreadex and StoneX Trading, but not their support channels, so we won't list hours or numbers for them. Each publishes contact details on its UK site. Capital.com (FCA 793714) is our second choice if you want guaranteed stop-loss orders, which Pepperstone does not offer.

Trading on margin magnifies losses as well as gains. Spread bets and CFDs are complex and high-risk: 73.6% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading them with Pepperstone Limited. Fees and terms change, so confirm them on each broker's own site before you trade. Not investment advice.
