Why security matters in P2P transactions

Peer-to-peer exchanging opens up flexible and localised options, but it relies on trust between users. At Deriv, your safety is a top priority. Recognising how risks such as scams, phishing, and fraudulent offers can appear is the first step toward becoming a savvy P2P trader.

Key points to remember:

• The exchange occurs directly between users. Always within the Deriv P2P platform, not via social media or messaging apps.
• Deriv’s P2P platform uses an escrow system to safeguard transactions until all parties have fulfilled their side of the deal.
• User ratings and histories are visible, helping you choose reputable trading partners.
• Deriv will never contact you via WhatsApp or other social channels regarding your account or transactions.
• Never share your login information or verification codes with anyone else.

Verifying users and staying safe on Deriv P2P security best practices

Before accepting or listing any offers, take a moment to check the counterparty’s profile. Here’s what you should look for:

• Profile verification: Transact only with users who have a verified identity.
• Reputation scores: Prioritise traders with positive feedback, high completion rates, and a solid transaction history.
• Order limits: Avoid deals that seem unusually large or small for your needs, which can be red flags.
• Exchange rates: Sometimes if an advertiser’s exchange rate seems too good to be true - it likely is because it is.

‍

Top tips for secure P2P transactions:

• Never agree to complete or negotiate exchanges outside the Deriv platform. You risk losing both your money and Deriv’s reliable escrow protection.
• Communicate only via the in-platform chat feature.

Escrow protection: How Deriv safeguards your funds

Deriv P2P employs an automated escrow system, which is a safety net for both buyers and sellers. Here’s how it works:

• For buyers: The funds you have purchased are held safely by Deriv until the seller confirms the receipt of funds, ensuring they remain available for you.
• For sellers: Your funds are locked in escrow and will only be released once you confirm that the buyer's payment has been received.

If either side encounters a problem, the dispute function allows Deriv’s support team to investigate and resolve the issue fairly.
