If you decide to trust a company based here you have to know that your money does not have any type of protection, it is very risky, please think twice before trusting this company.

We can already tell you that we are concerned about several characteristics of this company.

What is Deriv?

After having carried out an analysis of the company's website, we can say that Deriv is a: cryptocurrency, cfds, forex and commodities broker.

Account types

The company does not provide information about having different types of accounts.

Information on the web

Deriv's website

Here we show you a screenshot of the Deriv website, which is deriv.com. The capture was made in November of 2023.

Contact: phone numbers and email

After having performed an analysis of the website:

This company does not provide any contact details; No email or phone number. What does this mean? That a company does not provide contact information is a very bad sign. Imagine that you have a problem or complaint and you have no way to contact them. It sounds really bad, doesn't it?

Deriv Regulation

We have analyzed in depth the current ⚖️ regulatory situation ⚖️ in which this company finds itself and we have reached the following conclusion:

This company mentions being regulated in Malta, this location is used since the regulation of this type of country is practically non-existent. It is almost the same as working with an unregulated broker. That is, if you work with a broker with this type of regulation, unfortunately you are 100% unprotected. Therefore, at the regulatory level, unfortunately Deriv is a completely dangerous and very unsafe broker.

🚫 Deriv final assessment 🚫

As you can see, we have carried out a detailed and complete analysis of the most important characteristics of Deriv and we have reached the following conclusions about this company:

Location: They mention being located in a VERY UNSAFE location.

Regulatory: They mention being regulated by a very unserious and, above all, unsafe regulator, such as Malta. There is a clear lack of security at the regulatory level.

Deriv, a broker covering forex, cryptocurrencies and commodities, raises significant concerns in terms of security and regulation. Its location in Malta, considered very unsafe for this type of service, raises questions about the protection of users. Furthermore, regulation by a non-serious and safe entity in Malta adds uncertainty to the reliability of the platform.

Caution is advised when considering Deriv as an investment option.

🚨🚨 Conclusion: for the reasons mentioned our conclusion is that it is a very unserious and very unsafe company. Please think carefully if you want to send money to a company with these characteristics. 🚨🚨

    They are the WORST, synthetic indices are super manipulated, they suck. I hope people understand and stop investing their capital in these thieves. Their platform is a farce, disgusting pigs, they make a living by stealing people's money. And the worst thing is that it has influencers and YouTubers who are paid to convince people that synthetics are a good investment. People better look for a reliable broker and operate in Forex or Futures. Slds

      Hello Andres, thanks for writing about Deriv. Currently this broker is considered a SCAM.

      If you are a client, do not make more contributions, their only objective is to steal from you, they manipulate operations manually, they keep the money from when it reaches their accounts, it does not enter the market, everything is prepared for you to lose or make you lose your money to have the excuse to keep it.

      If you decide to withdraw and they request a ransom in the form of commissions, taxes, fees, legalizations, etc. Never pay it! That's the warning, from that moment you have to know that you are a client of a scam broker and no matter how much you pay you will never see your money.

      To help other users or customers, provide as much information as possible, explain how everything happened, where you saw the advertising, who called you, numbers from which you were dialed, emails and everything that comes to mind.

      Hello Manuel, they are not going to return anything to you, they always lie, they say they have regulations in certain countries and it is not true, their regulations are invented, they are scammers, they manipulate the markets at will from the platform. Thanks for sharing your experience with Deriv, this broker is a SCAM.

      Do not send them money, they want to get as much money as possible with lies, the operations are not real, they do not put the money on the market, they only show it and in the end they tell you that you have lost and they keep it. They always try to manipulate you, they will not return your money, neither the initial one nor if you send them later you will not see it anymore, try to claim through our chat.

      If you have more information about the company, we ask you to share it with us, especially if it is information that you think can help other people investing with this company.

    No customer service

    Not a good broker. Deriv's customer service is non-existent. They have been replaced with bots. They don't even answer your questions. I wanted to know the leverage on my synthetics account. All I keep seeing is they offer leverage up to 1:1000, but they can't tell me what is the leverage on my account. If you have a problem or query, don't expect to reach them.

    Would not recommend.

    Derivation is highly manipulative. i strongly suggest you do actual forex trading and avoid synthetics on deriv especially smart trader. they cheat and make sure they blow your account. they have an anti-win mechanism running in the background. it lets you win for a few times at first then blows your account. avoid deriv. I speak from experience. they want to steal your money

    Ils ferment votre compte sauvagement en…

    Ils ferment votre compte sauvagement en prétextant qu'il faut communicater ses informations de revenus (salaires), certificat salaire, mais on va où? Why are the other brokers at the source of the histories of the moment qu'on est vérifié avec preuve de résidence et taxation only? Il faut être vacciné 9 doses aussi pour trader sur du synthétique??
