"Funds are withdrawn using the same method, and to the same account as previously used to deposit"

Is there anyway to get around this to get my money out of Oanda?

generally speaking, this is to protect against fraud and money laundering so the same person must do the deposit and withdrawal. Another reason is to prevent people from using these brokers as exchanger services.

With Oanda, your best bet is to deposit with credit card and then withdraw through another payment processor such as Paypal. You will have to check up on this as perhaps they may have some specific withdrawal method.

The other way is perhaps a broker to broker transfer. It doesn't look like Oanda offers this, but couldn't hurt to ask.

What happens if I deposit with a bank account but change banks and want to withdraw my money into the new bank account? It sounds like Oanda is being unreasonable. To be honest I wish I never used them. In fact it seems that forex brokers in general are not very stable.

if u used a wire transfer from a bank account and then changed banks u can still withdraw funds to any bank account under your name.

then best to make sure that your bank name matches. for example, if you used John Smith for Bank A, and deposited, then make sure you are withdrawing to a John Smith in Bank B. This is pretty much common sense as after all you are opening an account in your name (hopefully). However, there will always be people attempting to deposit under the name John Smith and then withdraw to some Alakbar Osama Abdo.

Also, Oanda has account managers which you can call up or email. If you can prove that both bank accounts are in your name and that you are the same person (show account opening forms) then I don't see why they wouldn't let you.

Hello! I am with Oanda many years, never had any problems with them. Just follow the rules.

I had a lot of problems with UCVHOST Cheap VPS providers. This is company without honor and respect to their customers. Initially it seems working, but once upon a time their service stop working and then nightmare starts. Chat is polite, but to talk to them is same as to talk to TV set. They don't answer to your emails, loose support ticket e.t.c. e.t.c. If you gona put on their VPS your terminal, then be careful it can stop working any time, and your experts will stop working. You understand what it can cause.
