Igati has assumed responsibility for overseeing regulatory compliance and AML/CFT risk functions.
Earlier, the firm strengthened its sports presence with Geelong Cats AFL partnership.
Pepperstone,
a global Forex and CFDs broker, has announced the appointment of Dianah Njeri
Igati as the Regional Head of Compliance for the Australia, UAE, Asia-Pacific,
LATAM, Middle-East, and Bahamas regions. Igati will be responsible for
overseeing the regulatory compliance and AML/CFT risk compliance functions
under the Australian Securities & Investment Commission, Dubai
Financial Services Authority, Securities Commission of The Bahamas, and the Financial Services Commission (Mauritius).
Extensive
Compliance and Legal Expertise
With
an extensive background in compliance and legal roles, Igati brings a wealth of
experience to her new position. Before joining Pepperstone, she

In
her previous role as the Head of Compliance and Money Laundering Reporting
Officer at EGM Securities, Igati demonstrated her expertise in monitoring and
implementing controls for money laundering, fraud, and terrorism finance. She
actively engaged in negotiations, policy reviews, conducted extensive research,
and provided legal advice across various inter-functional project workstreams
and general project management.
In
addition to her corporate roles, Igati has been serving as a Committee Member
on the Professional Development Committee at The Institute of Certified
Secretaries since September 2021.
Pepperstone's
Strategic Move with Geelong Cats Partnership
Earlier,
Finance Magnates reported that Pepperstone
strengthened its sports presence by partnering with Geelong Cats, a
prominent Australian Football League (AFL) team. The Melbourne-based agency,
Bastion, facilitated the deal, making Pepperstone the official online trading
partner of Geelong Cats. The sponsorship signifies Pepperstone's commitment to
the AFL community and aligns with their Australian heritage.
In
contrast to the prevalent trend of brokers associating with European football,
Pepperstone's move highlights a shift towards supporting local sports teams.
The financial services industry, particularly forex and CFD brokers,
traditionally invested heavily in European football, with $125 million spent on
football deals during the 2020-21 season, as reported by Sportsquake.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
