This strategic move underscores the company’s commitment to enhancing its operational resilience, risk governance, and long-term growth strategy as it continues to expand its presence across international markets.
Since its founding in 1996, OANDA has grown from a revolutionary platform offering free currency exchange information to becoming one of the world’s most recognized names in online trading.
With its multi-award-winning FX and CFD trading solutions, recent expansion into money transfer services, and global presence, OANDA is now considered a major player in the financial industry. Throughout this evolution, innovation has remained at the core of the company’s mission.
OANDA’s philosophy has always centered on delivering intuitive and user-friendly products supported by a strong customer-first service culture.
From its first real-time data feed nearly three decades ago, the company has continuously sought to push boundaries and redefine how customers interact with global financial markets. With ambitious growth plans ahead, OANDA remains committed to developing solutions that meet the full spectrum of customer currency needs.
This remarkable trajectory has been supported by substantial financial and strategic backing. In 2007, OANDA secured USD 100 million in Series B funding, accelerating its growth and technological advancements.
In 2018, the company was acquired by CVC Capital Partners Asia Fund IV, marking a significant milestone that enabled further expansion, innovation, and infrastructure development across the brand.
The appointment of Paweł Latocha comes at a pivotal moment for OANDA. With extensive experience in risk management, regulatory frameworks, and financial oversight, Latocha brings deep expertise that will support the company’s efforts to strengthen its operational foundations and reinforce its governance standards across all business units.
In his new role, Latocha will oversee operational risk strategy across the OANDA Group, ensuring that systems, processes, and controls are aligned with the highest industry standards.
His leadership at OANDA TMS will also play a vital part in steering strategic initiatives, enhancing operational performance, and maintaining strong regulatory compliance across European operations.
OANDA’s decision to strengthen its risk leadership reflects its focus on building a resilient, future-ready organization capable of supporting clients in a rapidly evolving market environment.
With continued technological advancements, expanded service offerings, and a robust governance framework, the company remains well positioned to achieve its long-term objectives.
