Background of the Study
Foreign exchange (forex) trading platforms are critical for banks to efficiently manage currency transactions. Accord Microfinance Bank has adopted innovative forex trading platforms incorporating algorithmic trading, real-time analytics, and blockchain-based settlement solutions. These enhancements aim to streamline forex transactions, reduce processing errors, and lower transaction costs. By automating key processes and optimizing trade execution, the bank expects to achieve significant cost savings while improving overall operational efficiency. The integration of these technologies represents a shift towards more data-driven decision-making in forex operations.
