The majority of currencies were a toss-up among Oanda, Visa and MasterCard. In the chart below, the green squares denote Oanda offering the best rates.
Among the remaining currencies, two tied most of the time, and 27 were a toss-up, showing how closely these rates compete. The rest of the time, the difference between the two were only fractions of a penny on the dollar.

However, if you spend a lot internationally, like Gorski, the fashion designer and entrepreneur, finding a good currency conversion rate could pay off. Before you go shopping, you could check the online currency conversion tools at Visa and MasterCard , and use the card that offers the more favorable rates.
If you ditch your no-foreign-transaction-fee rewards card for just any card from the other network, you might end up with a better exchange rate, but a worse overall deal. You might miss out on some good offers while waiting for the perfect deal. This analysis is based on two samples of 44 currencies collected between August and September We chose to only compare currencies for which MasterCard, Visa and Oanda all posted rates when the data was collected in August and September We excluded currencies if there was one or more days of missing data from the network or foreign exchange platform.

As you can see in the image above, you need to set up all your preferred instruments, charts, and locate the account summery where you can follow the data. Then, you need to master the market order box and additional features such as news, forums, and analysis. Oanda is highly regulated in six different region across the globe including U.
With the increasing cyber hacking, Oanda offers the two-factor authentication for the web platform only. The two-factor authentication can be used by the Google Authenticator app.
Apart from the two-factor authentication, we did not find any additional security features. The terms and conditions to funding your account at Oanda vary depending on your location which we find confusing and complicated.
Here are the payment methods at Oanda based on different regions:. Similarly to deposit payment methods, withdrawal policies vary based on the OANDA division with which you hold your account. Oanda charges high withdrawal fees. For example, for those who are located in the United States, there are no fees for debit card withdrawal, however, bank wire fees are high compared to other brokers in the industry like Pepperstone and Coinbase:.
Overall, deposit and withdrawal process at Oanda is complicated and varies based on your location. The fees are relatively high and the deposit and withdrawal is a long process that takes several days. Oanda offers two sections on their website for market analysis and education as well as webinars and events. In conclusion, although the broker provides basic and advanced material for traders, the educational material is not organized and the access is not user-friendly compared to other brokers in the industry.
The support team response time was slow and we also found that the Oanda customer support did not provide answers for all of our questions. The MT4 mobile app is one of the best in the industry and can provide traders with a great interface and trading tools. The Oanda FxTrade is a bit disappointing as it has an average interface and is not an advanced mobile trading app. Oanda operates in the forex and CFD industry for more than two decades and established a reputation among traders and investors.
Following our review, we can agree that Oanda offers the most basic tools and features for traders and investors, however, the broker does not provide the extra tool or feature to make the difference for your trading. The broker offers limited account types, low leverage ratio, a limited selection of financial instruments and relatively high fees. Oanda leverage ratio varies depending on the geographic location and is limited to for currency pairs and on the all other financial assets as the broker complies with The Commodity Futures Trading Commission CFTC regulation.
