OANDA review: Broker joins FTMO ecosystem to deliver next-gen trading services
FTMO has completed the acquisition of OANDA Global Corporation, marking one of the most significant deals in the retail trading and prop-trading sectors in recent years. The transaction, finalized on December 1 after securing regulatory approvals from five jurisdictions, positions FTMO to expand beyond its core proprietary trading services into a broader, globally regulated brokerage ecosystem.
- Chosen by 3 200+ local traders in the last 3 months.
- Traders earn on average 12% more per month vs other brokers.
OANDA, a leading multi-asset trading group founded in 1996, now joins FTMO’s growing portfolio as a fully standalone business—a strategic move that FTMO’s founders say is central to building an end-to-end trading infrastructure.
A milestone deal eight months in the making
FTMO first signed a purchase agreement with OANDA’s former owner, CVC Asia Fund IV, earlier this year. After a lengthy approval process involving regulators across major financial centers, the firm completed the acquisition on December 1. The value of the transaction remains undisclosed.
The deal brings together two highly complementary trading brands. FTMO, a prop-trading pioneer serving clients in more than 140 countries, has seen rapid growth since 2015, earning multiple Deloitte Fast 50 awards and industry recognitions. OANDA, meanwhile, operates regulated entities in New York, Toronto, London, Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney and other global markets, offering derivatives trading, currency analytics and market data to millions of users.
“The long-term plan is to build a trading powerhouse, which will service traders on all levels – modern prop trading, brokerage with the relevant tools. OANDA, a broker with licenses in eight key markets across the world, is the perfect fit to this vision,” said Otakar Šuffner, co-founder and CEO of FTMO.
Integration without consolidation
FTMO emphasized that OANDA will continue to operate independently, maintaining its global regulatory footprint and established brand identity. Executives from both firms highlighted the strategic alignment in technology, compliance, and client-first service.
Marek Vašíček, FTMO’s co-founder and CTO, noted that OANDA’s experience in regulated markets and risk management will enhance the capabilities of the combined ecosystem. OANDA CEO Gavin Bambury underscored the deal as an opportunity to accelerate innovation and deliver “smarter, more integrated trading experiences” for clients worldwide.
What the acquisition means for traders
With OANDA’s multi-asset trading platforms and FTMO’s proprietary-trading technology under one umbrella, traders can expect:
- Broader market access across FX, indices, shares, commodities, treasuries and crypto
- Stronger regulation, with OANDA licensed in eight major jurisdictions
- Enhanced trading tools, analytics and educational support
- Expanded infrastructure for both retail traders and funded-account participants
As FTMO continues its expansion, the firm has signaled plans for further development throughout 2026, aiming to create a seamless ecosystem encompassing prop trading, brokerage services, training and data solutions.
