Location: Deriv has offices located in Malaysia, British Virgin Islands, Vanuatu and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, locations totally NOT RECOMMENDED. 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. 🚨🚨

    Hello, to deposit my money everything is fine and fast but now that I want to withdraw they ask me for an account in airtm or skrill, they give me pure problems. It seems that they do not want me to withdraw my money, I feel cheated. And deriv support only gives you problems, never solutions.

    ATENCAO NAO DEPOSIT HERE

    I opened an account here and cadastrei as an IB agent, I had a client who gave up doing trade because they began to manipulate the market with slippage and would not pay the total commissions. After claiming, they say that there is nothing to receive and that more customers should enter. Entering the minha counts a stubborn amount of the commissions, and how much I try to withdraw will block the minha counts to verify when the account was verified. Bet try to verify that it appears that nothing is possible. Incrivel or level in this company of farce, I do not recommend to deposit in it !!!

    I don't trust Deriv. I've been waiting for a week for my account to be reactivated... to deposit, they don't have a problem... but to withdraw, they tell me that my account is not fully verified... and regulated in Malta? It's not reliable for me... I'm still waiting to be able to withdraw my money.

    Hello, so far I cannot withdraw, I am not saying that they are a scam but it does seem that they do not want one to withdraw. How can it be that I've been trying to withdraw for more than 3 weeks and they won't let me?

    The support really takes 0, they are very rude and bad treatment towards the clients. Honestly, so far the experience has been very bad, and it's almost a scam because I still can't get my money back. Until I get it back I will say that it is almost a scam.

    When I manage to withdraw I will comment again but for now I can't. If any other customer knows how to withdraw please write me. Thanks.

      Hello Yanet, no one can withdraw because it is a scam and the scam consists of keeping your money, file a complaint with the police or try to withdraw your money in another way.

      Greetings.

    chantas.. give me back the money, this is a scam

    It won't let me withdraw the money and I've already spoken a thousand times with support, they tell me one thing, they tell me another, nothing works, I entered a visa card to withdraw the money and it turns out that I can only withdraw what I deposited, and what earnings do I have? The almost 300 dollars that I have they won't let me take them out. All of you are stealing them, you are a bunch of blackmailers, you are stealing my money!

    Good evening, I appreciate information about the Broker Deriv.
    If it's legit.
    It is validated and authorized.
    Is it regulated to operate as a broker?
    Some relatives have used it and have made profits and have managed to withdraw money via digital wallet.
