Corporation Company Information
About
The OANDA Corporation Company
Founded
in 1995 by economist Richard Olsen and Michael Stumm, OANDA was
created as the Internet arm of Olsen & Associates (O&A),
a leading econometric research and development firm based in Zurich,
Switzerland. O&A’s products and data are world-renowned
and are in use at over 70 major institutions engaged in the global
financial markets.
OANDA
began to develop, market and support Internet-based currency tools
for consumers and businesses. O&A recognized early that the
explosive global growth in foreign currency trading and Internet
usage would create enormous demand for a single global access point
serving the currency conversion needs of consumers and businesses.
OANDA is a global leader in currency conversion, localization, decision
support, transaction services, and forecasting. As a web-based Business-to-Business
Applications Service Provider (ASP), OANDA services over 13,000
clients globally.

filtered currency databases, and is an early pioneer in the development
of proprietary conversion, localisation and forecasting tools.
