Deutsche Bank once again named in FXC Intelligence’s Cross-Border Payments 100

The cross-border payments landscape is at an inflection point. As distributed ledger technology and digital money are gaining traction, new ways to transfer money cross-border are emerging. At the same time, existing infrastructure is being enhanced to meet the goals of the G20 roadmap to make cross-border payments faster, cheaper and more transparent.

To compete in this environment, Deutsche Bank has continued to invest in both enhancement and innovation – helping ensure clients have access to the most appropriate cross-border payments solutions for each use case. This commitment is reflected in the bank’s continued inclusion in FXC Intelligence’s Cross-Border Payments 100.

“We are focused on helping to shape the next generation of cross-border payments infrastructure”

“We are focused not only on strengthening the foundations of correspondent banking, but also on helping shape the next generation of cross-border payments infrastructure – from the launch of EverOn for year-round USD clearing, to enhancements to our dbX correspondent banking and trade platform, such as the new FX AutoConvert Service, industry leading FX4Cash platform and participation in initiatives such as Partior and Project Agorá,” said Patricia Sullivan, Global Head of Institutional Cash Management, Corporate Bank, Deutsche Bank.

“Together, these developments reflect our commitment to continually raising the bar for what clients can expect from their cross-border payments partner, and we are pleased to see this recognised once again by FXC Intelligence.”

Now in its eighth year, the industry ranking recognises the 100 biggest players in cross-border payments. The selected firms, chosen from more than 15,000 companies operating across the sector, are assessed against four criteria: their global significance, their importance within their respective market or segment, how central cross-border payments are to their business, and their growth trajectory. The combined scores determine the final Top 100.

Commenting on Deutsche Bank’s recognition, Daniel Webber, CEO and Founder, FXC Intelligence, said: “Deutsche Bank remains one of Europe’s most important providers of institutional cross-border payments infrastructure, with a global client base that includes many of the largest financial institutions and payment companies in the world.

“Its continued investment in both traditional payment rails and emerging digital asset capabilities reflects a bank that is actively building for the demands of the next generation of global money movement. Deutsche Bank’s central role in the global payments ecosystem makes it a well-deserved inclusion in the 2026 Cross-Border Payments 100.”
