Our take

Deutsche Bank is one of Europe's biggest banks, operating in around 60 countries. It has a long history but hasn't struggled to keep up with the changing times. Like launching Vert, a digital payments service for small and medium businesses, and focusing on investments that are good for the environment and society.

The banks performance in 2025 was impressive too. In the first nine months, pre-tax profit reached €7.7B (up 64% from last year) and net profit climbed to €5.6B (a 76% increase). And all business divisions delivered double-digit profit growth, supported by revenue gains and disciplined cost management.

If this wasn't impressive enough, the bank is also making strong progress in ESG, reporting €23B in sustainable financing in the third quarter of 2025 alone. With these healthy finances, a clear strategic direction, and a focus on responsible growth, Deutsche Bank is in a very promising position for the future.
