Net profit for the fiscal year was £127,831. This represents a significant decrease compared to the prior year's net profit of £558,492. The profit before tax also fell from £704,581 in the previous year to £227,336.
Administrative expenses for OANDA Europe totaled £16,585,444 in fiscal year 2023. This figure reflects the company's continuous operational costs and represents a key component of its overall financial performance.

“Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements,” the filing added.
OANDA Expands into UK Cryptocurrency Market
Earlier, US-based forex broker OANDA launched OANDA Crypto, a new cryptocurrency trading platform in the United Kingdom, as reported by Finance Magnates. The platform is registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA ) and will provide various cryptocurrency trading options for British investors.
This launch follows OANDA's acquisition of a majority stake in FCA-registered crypto firm Coinpass last year, allowing the company to enter the expanding UK crypto market, which has seen increased interest.
OANDA Crypto will enable trading in over 63 cryptocurrency pairs, including major digital assets like Bitcoin , Ether, and Ripple. The company plans to add more tokens and features throughout the year to meet the changing needs of crypto traders.
