Oanda Account Types Review

Standard Account

OANDA’s Standard Account is the most accessible option, designed for both new and experienced traders who want maximum flexibility and ease of entry. With no minimum deposit required, traders can open an account and begin trading with as little as $1, making it ideal for those testing the waters or operating with a smaller balance. The Standard Account offers a choice between Spread-Only pricing (with all costs included in the spread) and Core pricing (available to those with higher balances), and features market execution, a wide selection of instruments, including forex, indices, commodities, metals, and cryptocurrencies, and flexible lot sizing down to 0.01 lots (or even a single unit in fxTrade). The account is compatible with all of OANDA’s trading platforms, including fxTrade, MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and TradingView, and provides access to OANDA’s renowned research and education resources. This is the go-to option for most retail traders seeking a simple, reliable, and regulated trading environment, ensuring that your trading needs are accommodated and catered to.

Core Account

The Core Account caters to active and professional traders seeking to minimise overall trading costs through raw, interbank-style spreads, combined with a transparent commission per trade. To qualify, traders typically need to maintain a minimum balance of USD 10,000 or meet a specified monthly trading volume requirement. Core Account users benefit from ultra-tight spreads, often as low as 0.1 pips on EUR/USD, plus a fixed commission (typically around $5 per standard lot per side). This model is particularly attractive for those executing larger volumes, scalping, or trading news, as the lower spread can significantly reduce costs. Like the Standard Account, Core Account holders can access the full suite of platforms and tradable instruments, and are eligible for advanced trading features, volume-based rebates, and priority customer support, provided they also meet the Elite Trader criteria. This transparency ensures that you are always informed and in control of your trading costs.

Swap-Free (Islamic) Account

Explicitly designed for traders adhering to Islamic finance principles, OANDA’s Swap-Free Account offers all the features of the Standard or Core Account, but with the key distinction that no swap or rollover interest is charged or paid on overnight positions. This ensures full compliance with Sharia law, making trading activities free from transactions involving interest. Clients must request this account type through customer support and may be required to provide proof of a religious requirement. The Swap-Free Account is available in regions where local regulations permit, providing the same access to OANDA’s platforms, instruments, and educational tools. This enables Muslim traders to participate in global markets with confidence, without compromising on features or pricing.

Premium Account

The Premium Account is tailored for serious, high-volume traders and professionals who either maintain a minimum deposit of USD 10,000 or trade at least USD 10 million per month. Premium clients enjoy a range of exclusive benefits, including cash rebates of approximately $4 per million traded, complimentary VPS hosting for algorithmic trading, reimbursement of specific platform or funding fees, priority customer support, and access to enhanced market analytics and education. These benefits are designed to maximise efficiency and profitability for larger accounts, making the Premium Account a compelling choice for high-volume traders.

Premium Core Account

OANDA’s highest account tier, the Premium Core Account, is designed for institutional-level and ultra-high-volume traders who transact USD 50 million or more per month (or USD 200 million per quarter). This elite status unlocks the tightest possible spreads, paired with the most generous cash rebates in OANDA’s program, typically $6 or more per million traded. Premium Core clients also receive a dedicated relationship manager, full reimbursement of deposit fees, access to professional-grade analytics and platform tools (such as AutoChartist and TradingView Pro), and invitations to exclusive events and webinars. The Premium Core Account epitomises OANDA’s commitment to delivering the best possible trading environment and service to its most significant and most sophisticated clients, making it the ultimate choice for ultra-high-volume traders.
