Vasmiza, will they not charge you for withdrawing funds? Isn't there any commission? I haven't traded with Oanda, so I don't know.

It depends on the withdrawing method.

Thnks for the advice. I tried calling today but couldn't get through. I will try emailing in detail and see what happens.
No worries, I find phone calls to be much like live chat. Even had one representative trying to question my trading style and pressing for me to tell him my strategy

Oanda and just about ever other broker won't open an account overseas for a U.S. citizen living in the US. This has to do with the Barney-Frank or whatever the dumb bill / law is called that brought down all these rule changes in the last few years.

Not saying you can't find someone, but you'll be dealing with 3rd 4th tier brokers that nobodies ever heard of. Good luck.

hi, i'm looking to deposit some money in oanda using a bank wire. if anybody used Chase bank to wire over money to oanda, can you please help me answer these questions:

1. how much did Chase charge as a fee for depositing money using a bank wire?

2. for withdrawing funds from oanda, i know oanda charges $20. does chase bank also charge a fee for wiring money back into my chase account? if yes, how much do they charge each time?

if it makes any difference, i'm in new york city and use Chase bank.

if Chase is too expensive for bank wires, can anyone recommend another bank that has lower fees or even free outgoing or incoming wire transfer fees?

Thank you.


also if anybody uses check as a withdrawal method (withdrawing over $1000), do they usually come in a timely matter or do they take forever and sometimes gets lost and you have to request a new check?

if anybody has used both methods to deposit and withdraw (bank wire versus check), which one do you think you're better off using as a withdrawal method?

chase hase nothing to do with you, oanda should have all the upfront fees on there website, also your bank will charge you a wire.

If anyone has a spare minute, perhaps you could email oanda requesting them to provide a dollar index feed. I contacted them and they said they would consider it if it was something enough of their clients wanted.

after doing some research, chase wire fees are $30 for outgoing and $15 for incoming each time which can make it quite expensive. i think i am going to go with ally bank which has $20 outgoing fee and free incoming wires.

i would still like to hear other people's opinion on withdrawing with oanda through a check. is it too much of a hassle and headaches to go through a check (for amounts more than $1000)?

I wish oanda had ACH which would make all of this so much easier.

Thank you.

Yes, go with another. I am in AUS so it may be different but my bank is $20 for outgoing and $0 for incoming. How can they justify charging you to receive money into your account when they are benefiting from funds you hold???

That's pretty cheap compared to Wells Fargo that charges $50 bucks.

I see Oanda has a job opportunity called English/Chinese customer service representative.. I applied it on Dec 07th and they still did not contact me yet...

Is that means they read my resume/cover letter and they think i was not good so they decided to not contact me?? Anyone know it usually takes how long for them to contact a person for interview if they decide to give that person a try?

I've been with OANDA for over ten years and have never had a problem depositing or withdrawing funds from them. Requesting funds withdraw by check takes three to five days before you receive it. Have never had a problem with customer service, fast friendly efficient
