Missing Currencies

Not all currencies are supported by Oanda.

Some countries lack currency stability to meaningfully have exchange rates maintained by our currency partner. Other countries use a currency that is not their own as legal tender, including Crypto Currencies.

If a currency is not found in the application there are two steps to address this:

Set up the currency in DATABASICS
Apply an Exchange Rate - note: if you don’t add a currency rate the user will be able to enter one on the interface.

Below are a list of exceptions to currency management, including recently adopted currencies. The list includes the most recently internationally recognized countries and their currencies:
