Our take

Despite its roots in the nineteenth century, Deutsche Bank has seen strategic transformation at countless stages to remain competitive. For example, it recently launched Vert, a new digital payments company for SMEs, in collaboration with Fiserv. As a result, the company successfully filled the gap in the market for a user-friendly, all in one solution which would enable merchants to accept payments and manage money.

The company continues to benefit from its scale and reputation. Despite ongoing criticisms, its strong European ties and a global network means Deutsche Bank is well placed to help clients navigate through geopolitical and macroeconomic shifts, something that can’t be said so confidently of its competitors. Today, it operates in circa 60 countries.

Moving forwards, the company is focused on aligning more closely to environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria to facilitate over €500B in sustainable finance and investments between 2020 and 2025.
