How we protect your account

Keeping your account safe is something we work on continuously, not a box we ticked once.

Below are the measures we have in place on our side, and a few steps you can take on yours. Security is a shared job: the strongest controls still depend on you guarding your own login.

Encrypted connections

Traffic to the platform runs over SSL/TLS

Built with security in mind

We use widely adopted practices to protect your personal details and your trading activity, and we review these measures as threats and technology change. No system is ever completely immune, which is why we also ask you to take the steps further down this page.

SSL/TLS encrypted connections

Two-factor authentication (2FA)

Segregated client accounts

KYC identity verification

How we handle your funds

Anchor Derivatives holds client funds in segregated accounts, kept separate from the money we use to run the business, so your deposits are not spent on our day-to-day operating costs. Segregation reduces certain risks but does not remove all of them: trading itself can still lose money, and you should only deposit what you can afford to lose.

Data sent to and from the platform is encrypted (SSL/TLS)
Security measures reviewed and updated over time
Withdrawals checked against your verified identity

Use a strong password

Pick a password you use nowhere else, so a leak on another site can't open your account here. Aim for at least 12 characters mixing letters, numbers and symbols, and consider a password manager to keep track of it.

Turn on two-factor authentication

With 2FA switched on, logging in also needs a one-time code from your phone. Even if someone learns your password, they still can't get in without that second step.

Watch out for phishing

We will never email, call or message you asking for your password or 2FA code. If a message that looks like it's from us asks for those, or pushes you to act in a hurry, don't click its links — open the site yourself and contact support to check.
