Within cash management in particular, the bank has been committed supporting clients as they look to reduce complexity in corporate treasury and reap the full benefits of technological trends.

“From ‘digital first’, as amplified by the acceleration of workflow automation during the pandemic, through to business model evolution and monumental shifts in technology, we continue to guide our clients through their transformation,” said Ole Matthiessen, Global Head of Cash Management, Deutsche Bank. “This, in combination with intensified geopolitics and fine nuances of the international regulatory environment, means that it is more important than ever for clients to have a strong partner at their side.”

Through innovations, such as Inhouse banking structures, marketplace solutions and explorations into blockchain, Deutsche Bank has successfully balanced state-of-the-art solutions with security and scale to provide clients with the trusted advisory needed to navigate this dynamic landscape. Moreover, Deutsche Bank has remained a robust and reliable partner for clients – and has continued to differentiate itself by driving industry initiatives and new client solutions, such as spearheading the adoption of Swift Go and ISO 20022.
