For traders who want more flexibility and speed with their withdrawals, Deriv’s P2P (peer-to-peer) feature offers a convenient alternative to traditional payment methods. Instead of relying solely on banks or cards, P2P lets you withdraw funds directly through trusted local traders, often with faster turnaround times and support for local payment options. In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how to withdraw using Deriv P2P, step by step, so you can access your funds quickly and safely. Speaking of safety, familiarize yourself with the FTC Consumer Advice to see ways you can protect your capital from scammers.
If you still need a Deriv account, create a Deriv account first. For a broader overview of the feature, see How Deriv P2P Works.
Step 1: Open Deriv P2P
Log into your Deriv account, go to Wallet, and select “Deriv P2P”. If you still need help setting up access before you withdraw, see How to Verify Your Deriv Account.
Step 2: Go to the Buy Tab
To withdraw, you’ll be selling your Deriv balance, so look at the “Sell” tab, where buyers post ads offering to purchase funds from you at a set rate.

Step 3: Choose an Ad That Matches Your Needs
Compare ads based on rate, payment method, and transaction limits. Check the buyer’s rating and completion history before proceeding.

Step 4: Start the Order
Click on the ad, enter the amount you want to withdraw, and confirm to start the trade. Your funds will be held in escrow for the duration of the trade.

Step 5: Wait for Payment From the Buyer
The buyer pays you directly using the agreed payment method. Do not release the funds until you’ve confirmed the payment has actually landed in your account.

Step 6: Release the Funds

Once you’ve confirmed payment, click “Release” to complete the trade. The amount is deducted from your Deriv balance and the order is marked complete. For an alternative you could also look at How to withdraw using a Deriv payment agent.
