The Japanese sentence is not a question and should not have a question mark at the end. It is a statement and the proper translation is "Please show me the way to the bank." On the other hand the correct Japanese sentence for the given English sentence is Ginkoo e ikumichi o oshiete kudasaimasen ka? This is more deferential and formal than the original, but both will get you the same answer.
