Deutsche Bank company
Overview
Deutsche Bank AG is Germany's largest bank, founded on 10 March 1870 in Berlin as a specialist institution for financing foreign trade and now headquartered in the Deutsche Bank Twin Towers in Frankfurt. As of 2025 it reported €1,435 billion of total assets, €32.1 billion of revenue and 89,879 employees, operating in 58 countries. The group is structured around three pillars: the Corporate & Investment Bank covering capital markets, the Private & Commercial Bank covering retail and wealth, and majority-owned asset manager DWS. Its recent history has been dominated by conduct costs — roughly $9 billion in fines and settlements between 2008 and 2016, including a $7.2 billion settlement in 2017 over toxic mortgage securities and a $3.1 billion civil penalty tied to the financial crisis, alongside money-laundering and sanctions investigations. In 2019 chief executive Christian Sewing announced a restructuring that cut about 18,000 jobs, roughly a fifth of the workforce, and exited equities trading across Europe, the US and Asia. Founded in 1870 to finance German foreign trade, Deutsche Bank grew into a global investment bank before the 2008 crisis. It then paid approximately $9 billion in fines and settlements between 2008 and 2016, including a $7.2 billion mortgage-securities settlement in 2017. The 2019 Sewing restructuring cut around 18,000 jobs and shut the global equities trading business.
