Financing fees hero

If you have an open position on your OANDA trading account at the end of each trading day (at 5 p.m. (ET), the position is considered to be held overnight and will be subject to either a ‘financing cost’ or ‘financing credit’.

The ‘financing cost’ or ‘financing credit’ is calculated on a per position basis and may be a debit or credit, depending on whether it is a buy/long or sell/short position. The cost or credit also takes into account the impact of our admin fee and reflects the interest differential between the currencies involved in this trade.

The credit or debit depends on the applicable funding rate as described below:

Financing cost or credit = position value x applicable funding rate x1/365
Position value = size of your position x price of instrument at 5 p.m. (ET).
How we calculate funding rates

Funding rates (or swap rates) vary depending on instrument and may change on a daily basis. These are quoted as an annual rate. Each instrument has two quoted rates: one for a buy/long position and the other for a sell/short position.

A negative funding rate will result in a cost being debited from your account, while a positive funding rate will result in a credit made into your account.

The daily financing charge or credit will be claimed/passed from/to your account each day, and will be visible in your transaction history accessible via your account portal.

Our funding rates for forex consist of a blend of underlying liquidity providers’ tom-next swap rates, adjusted by our x% admin fee (annualized).

TRY pairs 4.00%
CZK, HUF, SAR, THB, ZAR pairs 2.00%
Other pairs 1.00%
Financing costs affected by holidays and weekends

FX trades are typically settled on a T+2 basis, and the funding rate reflects the cost to push forward the settlement date by one day, so you can hold the position indefinitely. If you hold a position on Wednesday at 5 p.m., the funding rate will typically be three times the amount to reflect pushing forward the settlement by three days instead of one day.

This is because at the end of Wednesday the settlement date needs to be pushed forward from Friday to Monday, and the funding rate reflects the cost to hold the position over the weekend. There are no financing charges or credits on Saturday or Sunday. The actual funding rate on any given date may reflect more than one day depending on the instrument or due to market holidays.

Daily financing cost

Rates and costs for today's date are approximate and will not be finalized until 5 p.m. ET.

The rates displayed for the current date are indicative, based on rates from liquidity providers and administrative fees. Our finalized rates for the current date are published shortly after the New York day close (5pm ET).

Indicative rates are published as a reference and guide, and may differ from the finalized rates applied to your positions. Any difference in finalized rates charged due to different account types are not reflected here.

*Long financing charge = the financing charge in USD on a 100,000 unit long position of the given instrument.

^Short financing charge = the financing charge in USD on a 100,000 unit short position of the given instrument.

Example of how the financing cost would be calculated if you had a long 100,000 EUR/USD trade open at 5 p.m. (ET) on a day in which the long rate was -3.00%.

Financing cost = (100,000 x 1.15826) x -3.00% x 1/365 = -9.52 USD.

The long-term and short-term rates displayed on the webpage are computed annually. Conversely, the long-term and short-term costs are computed daily.
