London, July 09, 2026 – OANDA has once again been recognised by the leading financial services research firm, Investment Trends, this time for Overall Client Satisfaction and Platform Features in the UK. The accolade has been announced in the latest 2026 UK Leverage Trading Report.
The annual Investment Trends report is a highly regarded benchmark in the financial services industry, evaluating the preferences, attitudes, and satisfaction levels of thousands of leverage traders across the United Kingdom.
Securing the top spot in both overall client satisfaction and platform capabilities highlights OANDA's ongoing dedication to delivering an exceptional, intuitive, and feature-rich trading environment. This recognition reinforces the success of OANDA's "client-obsessed" approach, which is reflected in its leading performance in trade execution quality and charting tools, as well as its commitment to transparent pricing.
Commenting on the achievement, James Abbott, Head of Revenue for OANDA in the UK, said:
"We are incredibly proud to receive these prestigious accolades from Investment Trends. Being voted number one for both Overall Client Satisfaction and Platform Features is a direct reflection of our commitment to putting our clients at the heart of everything we do. This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team, who continually strive to innovate and elevate the trading experience for our clients."
OANDA’s award-winning mobile platform, recognised as ‘best in class’ by ForexBrokers.com in both 2025 and 2026, offers a seamless trading experience for both beginners and professionals. The intuitive interface delivers a robust suite of features, including advanced charting, real-time data, and swift execution across a broad range of instruments.
This latest industry recognition builds on OANDA's strong reputation for excellence, further validated by high satisfaction ratings across independent review platforms such as Trustpilot, where OANDA UK currently holds a 4.8-star rating.
