Background · from Deutsche Bank’s own dossier

A 155-year-old universal bank that — alongside its core EUR/USD clearing franchise — is repositioning as embedded finance infrastructure for fintechs and corporates. Recent moves (Airwallex FX rails 2020, Credi2-powered BNPL 2022, Capchase warehouse 2024, Ant International tokenization/stablecoin 2025, dbX platform 2026) show a deliberate strategy to become the bank-grade backend behind other companies' financial products rather than only serving end customers directly.
