I am convinced that TMS, with its strong position in Poland and a deep product and service offering, will fit perfectly well in the global technology-driven OANDA Group and wish the management of OANDA and TMS all the best in their common growth journey.

The acquisition of TMS is the second investment for OANDA in Poland for the last year. At the beginning of 2020, the company established a shared services centre in Kraków that currently employs almost 100 people.

Bambury continued:

Part of an ambitious growth plan, the TMS deal is just the first in a number of strategic acquisitions we’re looking to complete as we continue to strengthen our reputation as one of the world’s most trusted retail trading firms in the coming years.
