How To Deposit Into Deriv Account: Step-By-Step

✅ Step1: Log in to your Deriv account 

Visit the Deriv login page and enter your email and password to access you account. (Check this guide if you have problems logging in.)

✅ Step 2: Navigate to the Cashier section

Click on Cashier > Deposit.

✅ Step 3: Choose a deposit method

Choose the deposit method you want to use to deposit into Deriv account. Different regions may have different options. You will see the options available in your country listed.

Be very careful when choosing a deposit method. Choose a method that accepts incoming transfers so that when you want to withdraw you will not face challenges.

This is because Deriv requires you to withdraw via the same deposit method in order to curb issues of money laundering.

If you deposit $100 via AirTm and make a profit of $300, you must first withdraw at least $100 via Airtm. The balance can be withdrawn using other methods that you choose.

Now, if you deposit for example, using a prepaid Mastercard that doesn’t allow incoming transfers, you will face a challenge.

✅ Step 4: Enter the Deposit Amount

Enter the amount you want to deposit and the required details for your preferred deposit method. These can be card details, e-wallet account details, cryptocurrency wallet addresses etc.

Once you are done, click on ‘Deposit Now‘.

At this point, you would have successfully made your deposit into Deriv account.

You can go ahead and use the funds to trade synthetic indices, forex, multipliers and other assets offered on Deriv.

How To Use Crypto To Deposit Into Deriv Fiat Account

You can deposit crypto directly into your Deriv crypto account. The deposit will reflect as crypto eg if you deposit Bitcoin, you will see the balance denoted in Bitcoin in your Bitcoin account.

However, Deriv also allows you to deposit crypto that will reflect as fiat (US$) in your account. Below are the steps you take to do this.

✅ Step 1. Access the cashier and the crypto option

In your cashier section, look for the crypto deposit option.

✅ Step 2. Choose 10Coin

Deriv uses 10 Coin as the payment processor for crypto deposits into fiat. Click on the icon to get started.

✅ Step 3. Choose Deposit Amount

Input the amount you want to deposit in USD and click ”Next”. Your transaction will open in a new window.

✅ Step 4. Select the crypto type

Select the exact crypto and network you want to use to deposit and submit. You can use the following cryptocurrencies.

• USDC
• USDT
• BTC
• ETH
• LTC
• TRX

✅ Step 5. Send crypto to the generated wallet address

A unique address will be generated for the transaction, together with the exact crypto amount you should deposit.

Open your crypto wallet and initiate the transfer. Confirm that you are sending the right type & network of crypto to the account. If you send a different type of crypto, you will lose your funds permanently.

If you also send the wrong crypto amount, you risk losing all the funds.

✅ Step 6. Confirm the transaction

Click on ”Payment Sent” and you will get a notification that your transaction is in progress. The funds will then appear in your Deriv fiat account after the required network confirmations.
