OANDA has officially announced that it will transition its proprietary trading clients to FTMO, the global prop trading firm that acquired OANDA in December 2025. The migration process is set to begin today, March 2, 2026, marking a significant shift in the proprietary trading landscape as OANDA refocuses on its core brokerage operations.
The move follows last year's landmark acquisition and aims to provide OANDA's prop traders with access to FTMO's specialized infrastructure and expertise. According to the announcement, the transition is designed to be a seamless experience for traders. Clients who choose to migrate to the FTMO platform will be offered exclusive incentives, while those who opt out will be eligible for a full refund where applicable.
In a statement regarding the transition, Lucian Lauerman, Deputy COO at OANDA, explained that the move "allows our prop trading clients to benefit from the worldβs most advanced infrastructure and specialised expertise." He added that it "ensures that our clients are offered an enhanced prop trading experience," while allowing OANDA to concentrate on its primary business as a multi-asset brokerage.
This strategic realignment allows both entities to play to their strengths. OANDA, a firm with a history dating back to 1996 and a strong presence in major financial hubs, will double down on its retail and corporate brokerage services. Meanwhile, FTMO, recognized as a leader in the modern prop trading space, will absorb OANDA's prop trading community, integrating them into its established ecosystem.
The development is the latest in a series of strategic moves by FTMO, which has been actively expanding its global footprint. This includes a partnership with OANDA announced in August 2025 to re-enter the U.S. market and, more recently, launching services for traders in India. The migration of OANDA's prop clients is expected to further solidify FTMO's dominant position in the industry.
