OANDA, a global provider of innovative foreign exchange trading services, has been named the "Best Forex Provider" by readers of the Financial Times and Investors Chronicle at the prestigious Investors Chronicle Investment Awards.

The Financial Times is one of the world's leading business news and information organizations, recognized internationally for its authority, integrity and accuracy.

Responses were used to score forex providers on a range of issues including ease-of-contact, commissions and charges, administration, financial security, the quality of their research, and the range of services offered. The scores were collated by an independent research house and are used to identify the winners in each category.
