Banking is one of the most important sectors for country’s wealth building activities. Commercial banks are certainly profit making Financial Institutions. These institutions play great role in the money market of every economy.

Due to globalization, technological innovation and deregulation the banking system all over the world has been changing rapidly. Now a day’s banks have to compete in the market place not only with local institutions but also with foreign financial institutions.

Sonali Bank Limited is one of the leading commercial bank in Bangladesh. Its pioneer role in handling foreign trade and foreign exchange transactions ever before independence of the country still remains unchallenged. With wide network of branches at home and also a large number of correspondent banks worldwide it is singularly handling the largest volume of export-import business including homebound remittances.

For this reason Foreign Exchange of Sonali Bank Limited is very much essential. But now a day the banking sector of Bangladesh is suffering from the diseases of default culture which is the consequence or result of bad performance of most of the banks.

Sonali Bank Limited is playing an important role toward the growth and economic development of Bangladesh.
