Deriv, a global leader in online trading, was named Most Transparent Broker (Global), Best Broker (Africa), and Best Trading Platform (MENA) at the Global Forex Awards by Holiston Media. The recognition marks another major milestone as the company nears its 26th anniversary in October. 

Deriv recognised for trust and innovation 

“Trust is the true currency of online trading,” said Rakshit Choudhary, CEO of Deriv. “Recognition like this signals we’re on the right track. Building locally relevant experiences, innovating responsibly, and making advanced tools genuinely usable. It reinforces our mission to make trading accessible for anyone, anywhere, anytime. We soon plan to expand AI‑assisted education, deepen local‑language support across Africa and MENA, and roll out features that refine execution while strengthening safeguards.”

Deriv attributes its success to its multiple international licenses, customer-first approach, and continuous investment in AI and local support. The company is deepening its presence in Africa with tailored outreach. “Africa holds immense potential for the future of online trading,” noted Godfrey Zvenyika, Global Partnerships Manager and Country Manager of Africa. “This recognition shows our progress and motivates us to keep empowering clients and helping the region’s industry grow.” 

Deriv commits to user-friendly and advanced trading platforms 

For the MENA region, Deriv’s emphasis on user-friendly and advanced trading platforms remains central. “Our platforms are designed for usability and sophistication, whether for newcomers or experienced traders,” said Aggelos Armenatzoglou, Head of Dealings. “Recognition in MENA affirms our focus on performance, accessibility, and tools that scale with a client’s experience.” 

The company plans ongoing investment in technology, education, and regional support to strengthen its global leadership position. In the coming months, clients can expect continued investments in innovation, education, and support, including carefully phased enhancements that broaden access to crypto features in line with local regulations and best‑practice safeguards.
