The Deriv App is Deriv’s main mobile app as at October 2026. You use it to manage your Wallet, fund and open MT5 and cTrader accounts, and trade forex, commodities, stock indices and Synthetic Indices from your phone. Download it only through the Google Play and App Store buttons on deriv.com, never from a link in a chat group or an APK file.
Know who you are dealing with before you install anything. Deriv is not authorised by the FSCA. Your South African Wallet sits with Deriv (SVG) LLC, options and multipliers with Deriv Capital International Ltd in Samoa, and Deriv names no regulator for either company, so the FAIS Ombud cannot help you with a complaint. Our Deriv review covers the entity question in full, and you can compare brokers if local authorisation matters to you.
Which Deriv apps are there in 2026?
Deriv now splits its tools across one main app, a separate P2P app and third-party platforms. This is what each one is for and where the genuine version lives.
| App | What it is for | Where to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Deriv App | Wallet deposits, withdrawals and transfers, account management, and trading forex, CFDs and Synthetic Indices | Google Play and App Store, via deriv.com |
| Deriv P2P | Buying and selling Wallet balance with other verified users in local currency | Google Play, App Store, Huawei AppGallery and a web version |
| MetaTrader 5 (Deriv MT5) | CFD trading on your Deriv MT5 account with full charts and indicators | MetaTrader 5 app on Google Play, App Store and AppGallery; Windows installer, macOS file and web terminal from deriv.com |
| Deriv cTrader | CFD trading and copy trading | Deriv cTrader app on Google Play and App Store; Windows and Mac downloads |
| TradingView | Trading Deriv CFDs from TradingView charts | Connect from your Deriv dashboard; TradingView desktop and mobile apps |
| Deriv Trader, Deriv Bot, SmartTrader | Options and multipliers, no-code trading bots, and a simpler trading screen | Web browser on desktop and mobile; no separate app |
What happened to Deriv GO?
Deriv GO, the older Deriv mobile trading app, no longer appears on Deriv’s platform list. The old Deriv GO page on deriv.com now opens the Deriv Trader page, and the Deriv App is the mobile app Deriv promotes in its place. The App Store link for the Deriv App on deriv.com still carries “deriv-go” in its web address.
An older Deriv GO listing can still turn up when you search Google Play. Ignore it and install the Deriv App from the button on deriv.com so you get the app Deriv currently supports.
What the Deriv App does
- Trading: forex, CFDs, commodities, stock indices and Synthetic Indices such as Volatility 75 in one app.
- Wallet management: deposit, withdraw and move money between your Wallet and your MT5, cTrader and other accounts.
- Demo account: practise with 10,000 USD in virtual funds before you risk real money.
- Low entry point: the lowest deposit into a Deriv Wallet is USD 5, depending on the payment method.
On Google Play the app is listed as “Deriv: Forex & CFD Trading” by Deriv Services Ltd, last updated in August 2026. If the developer name or app title looks different, do not install it.
How to download the Deriv app for Android or iPhone
- Type deriv.com into your browser yourself rather than tapping a link someone sent you.
- Scroll to the Deriv App section and tap the Google Play or App Store button. This opens the official listing.
- Check the developer name and the number of downloads before you tap Install.
- Open the app and log in, or tap Sign up to create a profile. A demo account is created with your profile.
- Complete verification in the app before your first deposit so withdrawals are not held up later.
Avoid APK files shared on Telegram, WhatsApp or websites that are not deriv.com. The Malta Financial Services Authority has issued warnings about clone sites using the Deriv name, and fake apps are used to steal logins and deposits.
Is there a Deriv app for PC?
There is no separate desktop Deriv App, and you do not need an Android emulator such as BlueStacks. On a computer, log in at deriv.com in your browser. For charting and automated trading, install MT5 with the Windows installer or macOS file from deriv.com, or the Deriv cTrader desktop app for Windows and Mac.
Deriv app login
You log in to the Deriv App and the Deriv website with the same Deriv details: your email and password, or your Google or Apple account if you signed up that way. Each trading platform then has its own access:
- Deriv MT5: your MT5 login details are separate from your Deriv login. Use the account number, password and server shown for that account in your Deriv dashboard.
- Deriv cTrader: open the cTrader account from your Deriv dashboard first, then use it in the Deriv cTrader app.
- TradingView: connect once from the CFDs section of your Deriv dashboard, then pick your Deriv account on TradingView charts.
If you cannot log in, reset your password from the official app or deriv.com only.
Which Deriv app should you use?
- Funding, withdrawals and account admin: the Deriv App.
- Forex and indices with full charts and Expert Advisors: MT5. See our MT5 vs MT4 guide if you are new to MetaTrader.
- Copy trading: Deriv cTrader.
- Options, multipliers and bots: Deriv Trader and Deriv Bot in your browser.
- Local currency deposits: Deriv P2P, if it is available in your country.
Whichever app you choose, start on the demo account until you understand how position size and leverage affect your balance.
FAQs
How do I download the Deriv app for Android?
Go to deriv.com, tap the Google Play button in the Deriv App section and install “Deriv: Forex & CFD Trading” by Deriv Services Ltd. Do not install APK files from other sources.
Is the Deriv GO app still available?
Deriv no longer lists Deriv GO on its website, and its old page now opens Deriv Trader. Use the Deriv App instead, which Deriv now promotes as its mobile app.
What is the Deriv trading app?
The Deriv App lets you trade forex, CFDs and Synthetic Indices and manage your Wallet and trading accounts on your phone. For MT5 and cTrader accounts you also install the MetaTrader 5 or Deriv cTrader app.
Can I use the Deriv app for P2P deposits?
Deriv P2P is a separate app on Google Play, the App Store and AppGallery, with a web version. Deriv says availability depends on your country of residence, so check that it works for your profile before you rely on it.
Trading CFDs is high risk. Leverage can magnify losses, and you may lose your deposit. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.
