Two businesses, a shared foundation in markets
OANDA applies its currency-market experience to trading services and business data. Trading brings prices, platforms and execution to self-directed clients. Currency delivers exchange-rate information and related services for financial and business workflows.
Currency data and analytics
Exchange-rate tools, historical data and APIs help businesses use currency information within their own systems. Applications include financial reporting, audit checks and analysis of cross-border activity.
Regional account services
Client-service teams and regional entities support account operations across financial centres. The entity named in a customer’s agreement determines product access, account terms and applicable protections.
From exchange rates to online trading
Data research and software development run through OANDA’s history. Early currency services established the foundations for fxTrade, trading APIs and the market research that followed.
- 1996
Founded in data and technology
Dr Michael Stumm and Dr Richard Olsen establish OANDA, incorporating the company in Delaware and bringing computing and econometric research experience to currency markets.
- 1998
Making exchange rates accessible
By 1998, OANDA is sharing exchange-rate information online free of charge. Its OANDA Rates service also begins serving professional users, including tax authorities and audit firms.
- 2001
The launch of fxTrade
OANDA introduces its proprietary currency-trading platform. Trading APIs and MarketPulse follow in later years, extending the business into automated trading tools and market commentary.
- 2025–2026
A new chapter under FTMO
FTMO completes its acquisition of OANDA in December 2025 and announces plans to maintain it as a standalone business. In 2026, OANDA marks its 30th anniversary.
Currency data built into business decisions
From checking a rate for a reporting date to supplying data to an internal application, OANDA’s currency services support recurring business tasks. Data frequency, coverage and licensing can be selected to match the intended use.
- Integrate exchange rates into business systems and applications
- Use historical references for reporting and audit checks
- Explore data, analytics and partner payment services
Exchange Rates API
Connect exchange-rate data to finance, treasury and other applications. Subscription terms determine update frequency, request limits and permitted redistribution.
Historical Currency Converter
Look up rates for selected dates and periods to support reporting, reconciliation and historical analysis. The chosen rate type and reporting period should match the task.
Cross-border payments
Currency services also provide access to partner payment solutions. Availability, exchange quotes, fees and the organisation handling a transfer depend on the selected service and region.
Currency analysis
Use current and historical information to examine exchange-rate changes and inform business planning. Reference data serves a different purpose from a bank’s conversion quote or an executable trading price.
