OANDA Named 2026’s Most Trusted Global Broker & Top Forex Broker in Singapore by CompareForexBrokers

NEW YORK & SINGAPORE – October 26, 2026. OANDA has earned top honours in the 2026 Compare Forex Brokers Awards, securing #1 Most Trusted Broker globally for the second consecutive year, alongside Best Singapore Forex Broker.

A Broker You Can Trust

OANDA was named the overall winner for the Most Trusted Broker category for 2026, retaining the title it earned in the 2025 awards. The evaluation by Compare Forex Brokers prioritises strict Tier-1 regulatory oversight, user feedback, broker reputation, and overall operational transparency.

As OANDA celebrates its 30-year milestone in 2026, this award highlights how OANDA excels across those exact criteria:

  • Extensive Tier-1 Licensing: Operating under strict regulatory oversight in major jurisdictions worldwide, OANDA is registered with the CFTC and a member of the NFA in the US, alongside active licences in the UK, EU, Canada, Australia, Singapore, and Japan.
  • A Clean 30-Year Track Record: Three decades of operating history backed by a strong regulatory record and positive Trustpilot feedback from real traders worldwide.
  • Client Safeguards & Tools: Robust client protection standards paired with unique risk management tools designed to help active traders navigate market volatility.

Otakar Šuffner, Co-Chief Executive Officer at OANDA, commented, "Being named Most Trusted Broker means a lot to us and we are proud of it. At the same time, it is a reminder that we still have a lot of work to do. Transparent pricing, regulatory safety and seamless execution should be a given, not a differentiator. Our focus is on making the entire trading experience genuinely better for our clients, and we are just getting started."

In addition to taking top honours for global trust, OANDA also received "Outstanding Achievement" recognition in two major global categories: Best Broker Overall and Best Risk Management Tools.

The Top FX Choice in Singapore

OANDA also scooped the top prize for Best Singapore Forex Broker. OANDA ranks #1 of 18 on Compare Forex Brokers’ list of the best forex brokers in Singapore, with a score of 88.3 out of 100, its global rating from the site’s broker testing. OANDA’s Singapore entity, OANDA Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., is listed on the MAS Financial Institutions Directory.

To determine the rankings, Compare Forex Brokers evaluated local providers across key criteria including MAS licensing, trading costs, spread competitiveness, and platform availability.

OANDA’s top ranking highlights its robust local presence and client-focused setup for Singaporean traders:

  • Local Regulation & Easy Access: Operating via OANDA Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., a MAS-licensed entity, OANDA makes trading accessible with a zero minimum deposit requirement.
  • All-in-One Platform Choice: Traders get seamless access to MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and TradingView all under a single account, a rare multi-platform combination among Singapore brokers.
  • Flexible Pricing Choice: Singapore traders have a genuine choice on pricing across spread-only accounts or core pricing plus commission, so they can match the cost structure to their trading style.

"Being the top FX broker in Singapore is about delivering the complete package: sharp pricing, seamless execution, and high-grade risk protection," said Phil Waters, Managing Director, Asia Pacific and Emerging Markets at OANDA. "We give traders the flexibility they need to execute their strategy, supported by risk management features like Guaranteed Stop-Loss Orders. This gives our clients greater confidence navigating volatile market conditions."

About the Methodology

The 2026 Compare Forex Brokers Awards reviewed more than 40 brokers globally.

The Most Trusted Broker award evaluates Tier-1 regulatory oversight, operating history, user feedback, and transparency. The Singapore section features 18 brokers listed on the MAS Financial Institutions Directory, ranking them using Compare Forex Brokers' global testing benchmark score (or desk score for un-tested local brokers) across eight weighted categories.

Justin Grossbard, CEO and Head of Research at Compare Forex Brokers, commented: "We compared 18 MAS-licensed brokers for Singapore traders, and OANDA finished with the highest score on our list at 88.3 out of 100. That score comes from the same eight weighted categories we apply to every broker we test worldwide, reflecting strength across the board rather than just one standout feature. Trust carried real weight in our assessment; OANDA was named Most Trusted Broker in our global awards, and in Singapore that record sits on a licensed local entity."
