Deriv will send you an email to verify your email address. Open that email and click on the link to verify your email address and finish setting up your account. If you do not see the email try checking your spam folder.

2. Open A Deriv Real Account

The next step is to do Deriv Real Account registration.

Log into the demo account that you created in the first step. Click the dropdown arrow beside the $10 000 demo balance and click on the ‘Real’ tab.

Next, click on the Add button and choose the default account currency. You will use this default currency to deposit, trade & withdraw and you can’t change it after your first deposit. It is important to make sure you choose a currency that is convinient for you.

You will need to supply some details to finalise your Deriv real account registration. Enter the following details such as your real name, address & phone number.

Ensure that you use details that you can later verify. This is because as part of its Know Your Customer (KYC) policy, Deriv will ask you to upload your proof of residence and ID or passport.

These documents should have the same details as the ones you supplied during the registration.
