Case Study: OANDA Japan achieves 93% latency reduction for real-time FX trading with Equinix TY3

OANDA - Customer Case Study

OANDA Japan, a local arm of the global online trading leader behind the fxTrade platform, needed to address unacceptable 300 ms delays when Japanese customers accessed its New York instance. That latency hampered real‑time foreign‑exchange trading, so OANDA concluded it needed a locally hosted platform presence to meet customer expectations for instant execution.

OANDA deployed an instance in Equinix’s TY3 facility, cutting latency by 93% (from 300 ms to 20 ms) and gaining direct access to a dense FX ecosystem, private cross‑connects, and 24/7 operational reliability. The move allowed OANDA to re‑architect its network topology, boost liquidity and performance, and deliver a unified, real‑time trading experience for customers in Japan and across Asia.
