The don’t do much. Small banks act as the retailers for their customers, but it is the big banks that are really most involved in Forex.
No small bank is going to be a big player internationally.
Depends on the institution.
A lot of small and medium-sized banks have no proprietary trading operation where they go to the forex markets for their own investment/speculation. So their forex dealings will be just enough to settle payments for their customers.
As far as I know much more forex volume is generated by large institutions that have trading operations in many markets including forex.
