Investopedia explains 'Interdealer Market'

The foreign exchange interdealer market is one of the better-known interdealer markets and is characterized by large transaction sizes and tight bid/ask spreads. Currency transactions in the interdealer market can be either speculative - initiated with the sole intention of profiting from a currency move - or customer-driven (by an institution's corporate clients such as exporters and importers, for example).
