Deriv withdrawal pending: why, and what to do

A Deriv withdrawal usually shows as pending for one of four reasons: your account still needs verification, the request is waiting for review, it was made outside business hours, or Deriv has sent it and your bank or payment provider has not posted it yet. Check the status and your email first, then contact Deriv's live chat with the reference.

Typical timings

Deriv's payment page lists some methods as instant and cards at one working day. Deriv's terms add that the time for funds to appear on a card or in a bank depends on the bank's own processing, and that requests made outside standard business hours may take longer. Crypto withdrawals also wait on the blockchain.

Common causes of delay

  • Identity or address not yet verified.
  • The payment account is not in your own name.
  • A weekend or public holiday in between.
  • Trading activity or a bonus condition under review.
  • A technical issue at Deriv or the payment provider, which Deriv's terms acknowledge can happen.

What to do, in order

  1. Check your email, including spam

    For a confirmation link or a document request.

  2. Check the status in the cashier and the statement

    Note the reference and the time.

  3. Wait the stated processing time

    For your method, in working days.

  4. Contact Deriv's live chat

    Give the reference, amount, method and date.

  5. If Deriv shows it as sent, contact your bank

    With the same details.

What not to do

  • Do not cancel and resubmit repeatedly. It can restart the process.
  • Do not pay anyone a fee to release it. Nobody genuine charges one.
  • Do not share your login with a helper who promises to speed it up.
