OANDA launches share CFD trading in the UK

London, February 6th, 2025 - OANDA, a global leader in online multi-asset trading services, has added share CFDs on US and European listed stocks to its contracts-for-difference range in the UK*.

The addition of share CFDs to the company’s offering in the UK is part of a larger update introducing a new OANDA One sub-account that allows users to trade via the latest version of the MetaTrader platform, MT5. This development increases the trading options available to clients, who can now use CFDs to seek exposure to popular US and European stocks. With this announcement, OANDA completes its goal of allowing retail traders to trade CFDs on individual company shares, such as Tesla, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Allianz, Siemens and Carrefour, from countries like the USA, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Netherlands and more. Share CFD trading is also available to TradingView clients who already use the popular charting platform to analyse and trade CFDs with OANDA. This means that clients can now take advantage of rising and falling equities markets alongside other instruments, all through one single connection on the TradingView platform.

Marcin Niewiadomski, OANDA’s Managing Director for Europe, commented: "The growing demand for CFDs reflects their appeal in providing traders and investors with a way to benefit from price fluctuations without owning the underlying assets. CFDs allow exposure to both rising and falling markets, giving traders the flexibility to take advantage of volatility. By offering leveraged access to a diverse selection of leading companies from the US and multiple European markets, we are giving our clients valuable diversification opportunities across sectors and geographies."

With this new offering, OANDA’s platform now supports share CFDs alongside a broad range of other asset classes, including indices, forex, commodities, metals and bonds, enabling clients in the United Kingdom to trade on a user-friendly interface.
