Our values

Customer focus

We put customers at the heart of everything we do, constantly pushing boundaries to exceed their expectations. Our obsession with customer needs drives innovation and shapes our decisions at every level.

Three professionals engaged in discussion around derivative trading strategies in a modern office setting.

Customer obsession

We relentlessly prioritise customer needs over internal preferences. We constantly ask, “How does this benefit our customers?” and are their strongest advocate within the company.

‍

We dive deep into customer feedback and data. We use these insights to drive innovation and improve our products and services.

‍

We don’t just meet expectations—we exceed them.We build long-term customer relationships. We go above and beyond to earn and keep their trust, even if it means making short-term sacrifices.

Get hands-on

We immerse ourselves in the details of our work. We don’t just manage from afar—we understand the nitty-gritty of what our team does.

‍

We lead by example. We are ready to roll up our sleeves and work alongside our team when needed. Our willingness to get involved sets the tone for the entire team.

‍

We keep a close eye on metrics and trust our instincts. We use data to inform decisions but aren’t afraid to act on our gut feelings when necessary.

Innovate and simplify

We challenge the status quo. We constantly ask, “Is there a better way to do this?” We are bold in proposing new ideas, even if they seem unconventional.

‍

We strive for elegance in solutions. We remember the most powerful innovations are often the simplest. We ruthlessly eliminate unnecessary complexity.

‍

We think big, start small, and scale fast. We aren’t afraid to experiment with new ideas and are quick to iterate based on results.

Integrity

We believe in doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. Our unwavering commitment to honesty and transparency builds trust and forms the foundation of our relationships with customers and colleagues.

Do the right thing

We make decisions we’d be proud to explain to our family or see on the front page of a newspaper. Ethics should never be compromised for profit or convenience.

‍

We speak up when we see something that doesn’t align with our values. Creating a culture of integrity is everyone’s responsibility.

‍

We consider the long-term consequences of our actions. We don’t sacrifice long-term trust for short-term gains.

Keep it real

We communicate with radical transparency. We share information openly, admit mistakes, and don’t sugarcoat bad news.We give and receive feedback generously.

‍

We create an environment where honest, constructive feedback flows freely, regardless of hierarchy.

‍

We are authentic in our interactions. We bring our whole selves to work and encourage others to do the same. Authenticity breeds trust and fosters stronger relationships.

Show some backbone

We question decisions that don’t make sense, regardless of who made them. Respectful dissent is a sign of a healthy organisation.

‍

We stand firm in our convictions, but are open to changing our mind when presented with new information. Strong views, loosely held.

‍

Once a decision is made, we commit to it fully. We debate vigorously, but unite behind the final decision and give it our all.

Teamwork

We thrive on collaboration, bringing together diverse, talented go-getters who break down barriers to achieve extraordinary results.

Three Deriv employees engaged in a deep discussion about the company’s products during an office meeting.

Own it

We think and act like an owner of Deriv, not just an employee. We make decisions with the company’s long-term success in mind.

‍

We take responsibility beyond our job description. We own the solution if we see a problem, even if it’s “not our job.”

‍

We are accountable for our actions and decisions. We don’t pass the buck or make excuses—we take ownership of our successes and failures.

Build an A-team

We never compromise on talent. We take the time to find and develop the best. One exceptional hire can be more impactful than several average ones.

‍

We actively seek out and nurture potential. We are mentors and coaches. Our success as leaders is measured by the success of our team.

‍

We create an environment where high performers thrive. We set high standards, provide challenging opportunities, and reward excellence.

Make work awesome

We foster a productive, fun, and empowering workplace. We remember, we spend a large part of our lives at work—it should be enjoyable.

‍

We care about our team’s personal and professional growth. We help them succeed and achieve their goals. Their growth is our growth.

‍

We encourage calculated risks and create a psychologically safe environment. Innovation thrives when people feel safe to experiment and learn from failures.

Competence

We pursue excellence relentlessly, constantly learning and adapting to stay ahead. Our bias for action, coupled with deep expertise, enables us to deliver outstanding results in a rapidly evolving industry.

Chart the course

We develop and articulate a clear, compelling vision for our area of responsibility. We make sure everyone understands where we’re going and why it matters.

‍

We translate the vision into actionable plans. We break down big goals into manageable steps and create clear roadmaps for execution.

‍

We regularly communicate progress and adjust course as needed. We keep everyone aligned and motivated towards our shared goals.

Deliver results

We set ambitious yet achievable targets. We push our team to exceed expectations while ensuring goals are grounded in reality.

‍

We focus relentlessly on execution. We balance quality with speed—remember, delayed perfection is often as bad as failure.

‍

We tackle problems at their root cause. We don’t settle for quick fixes; we implement sustainable solutions that prevent issues from recurring.

Never stop learning

We approach each day with curiosity. We seek new knowledge and skills to help us and our team perform better.

‍

We stay ahead of industry trends. We proactively explore new technologies and methodologies that could give us a competitive edge.

‍

We share our knowledge generously. We teach others what we know and create a culture of continuous learning within our team.

Bias for action

We move fast and take calculated risks. Speed is a competitive advantage—we don’t let perfection be the enemy of good.

‍

We make decisions with the information at hand. Many choices are reversible—it’s better to act and course-correct than to delay indefinitely.

‍

We encourage experimentation. We create an environment where it’s safe to try new things, fail fast, and learn quickly from mistakes.

Frugality

We are resourceful with company resources. We treat the company’s money as our own—always looking for the most efficient solution.

‍

We focus on results, not on growing headcount or budgets. We find creative ways to do more with less.

‍

We question expenses that don’t directly benefit our customers or drive our business forward. Every dollar saved can be reinvested in our growth.

Be dependable

We are the people others can always count on. We deliver on our commitments and communicate proactively if there are any issues.

‍

We manage our tasks and time meticulously. We never drop the ball or let important matters slip through the cracks.

‍

We respond promptly to communications and follow up diligently. Our reliability builds trust and keeps our organisation running smoothly.
