OANDA, a global provider of online foreign exchange (FX) and contract for difference (CFD) trading services, has been lauded by U.K.-based forex traders with several awards including the top honour of "Highest Overall Client Satisfaction."

"Investment Trends' research shows that three of the most important elements for investors trading FX are excellent customer service, the reliability of the platform they use, and consistency of filling trades at the quoted price. Our clients ranked OANDA as No. 1 in each of those categories."

Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, OANDA's senior executives are confident the company is well positioned to grow its business in 2015.

"To be recognised with the 'Highest Overall Client Satisfaction' and 'Best Value for Money' awards by U.K. FX traders validates our team's work to deliver the best platforms, products, and services in the industry," said Ed Eger, President and CEO, OANDA Corporation.
