OANDA: from currency data to a global trading group
Founded in 1996, OANDA grew from exchange-rate data and internet finance technology into a global business spanning retail trading and currency data. FTMO completed its acquisition of OANDA in December 2025, and OANDA continues to operate as a standalone business.
