Solid, well-regulated profile suitable for most traders.
deriv is a forex & CFD broker based in Malta, established in 1996. On Trust Broker Hub it holds a Trust Score of 8.0 out of 10, which we rate as Good — above the 5.3/10 average for brokers that hold a verified licence. Solid, well-regulated profile suitable for most traders.
Crucially, deriv is regulated by MFSA, VFSC and FSA, including at least one tier-1 regulator. Tier-1 regulation is the strongest sign of legitimacy: it normally requires segregated client funds, regular audits and access to a compensation scheme if the broker fails — meaningful protection for your money.
deriv provides access to Forex, indices, stocks, commodities. Published conditions include leverage up to 1:1000. No complaints are currently on record. Overall, deriv looks like a credible option — but always verify the licence yourself and start with a small amount.
deriv currently scores 8.0/10. The trend line will build here as the Trust Score is re-evaluated over time.
Offshore (tier-3) regulators typically have lower capital requirements and no compensation scheme. Funds may not be protected if the broker fails.
