Deutsche Bank’s Post

To close out the week, here are four reasons why I’m looking ahead positively: 1. How can we keep up with the technological progress in Asia-Pacific? We have to make an effort, but we can! To achieve this, we need a sustainable growth agenda for Germany. 2. What role does Deutsche Bank play in Germany? A role in the middle of the society - which we naturally want to and have to fill. 3. What do our customers in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East & Africa) expect from Deutsche Bank? They expect a Global Hausbank that accompanies them along their supply and value chain - for this, we have the right product range and, above all, the necessary global network. 4. How is it possible to balance work and family life at Deutsche Bank? It only works if everyone - and above all we as a bank and our managers - are aware of our responsibility. These are four questions I discussed with 18 directors of Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt this week. After many such sessions in Asia-Pacific, I am looking forward to this kind of exchange in Germany and EMEA as well. #deutschebank #europe #germany #globalhausbank Deutsche Bank

1 year ago, I joined Danske Bank in Stockholm as a Senior Risk Officer and here are some of my learnings •🇩🇰🇸🇪 Danish work culture is quite different than the Swedish one or when Swedish consensus meets Danish little-to-no-small talk 😅 I find myself in the middle, liking aspects from both sides. Overall it has been a fantastic learning on my part as I always thought of Scandinavia as one (also quite shamefully thought Finland was part of it 🙈) •Flexibility allows me to truly achieve a better life/work balance ⚖️ Danske Bank, and my team especially, fosters flexibility to accommodate each and everyone's life schedule. Weirdly enough, by not forcing me to be at my desk every day at 8:30am, I found myself attending a meeting at 8:10am last Friday. Those who know me can testify how shocking this is 😁🦉 #notamorningperson •I'm still figuring out my way through the organisation Working in a central function away from the headquarters is a challenge even for basic questions such as Who does what? Who can I talk to on this topic? What's actually happening in this department/team? On the other hand, staff located in Stockholm is friendly and welcoming. I feel like I belong which is just nice, isn't it? 🏦 •Reconnecting with Conduct Risk Moving to Sweden, I had to reinvent myself somehow but here I am, back to Conduct risk as the 1LoD Business Lead for the Bank's Conduct Programme 💁🏽♀️ •7+ years experience What a difference it makes in my professional life! I'm trusted, my opinions are valued and even sought for. Building up knowledge does pay off 🤓 • #teamup #ownit #beopen These are the company's cultural commitments. I understand and can relate to them, and this is how, to me, you start building retention and buy-in from employees. Let's see what next year brings, stay tuned!

There is a big #financialinclusion lesson for bankers in emerging markets in the decades of challenges that Deutsche Bank is facing in its German #Retail and #SME finance - and by extension its global ambitions.   Founded in 1870 in Berlin, Deutsche Bank for more than 130 years has been at the top of the league table of financial institutions in Germany. By 1980 DB even was ranked 5th largest bank, globally – just 15% below No. 1. Now merely at rank 22, DB lags 4 French banking groups, 2 UK-based ones and 1 from Spain.   What happened? Or rather: what did not happen? Deutsche Bank – and by extension all of the large private sector commercial banks in Germany – missed the boat on #inclusivefinance.   Partly by strategic choice, partly by neglect and in big part by the dynamism and client loyalty of their more inclusive competitors, Germany’s large banks ended up niche players on their home turf. Public savings banks and cooperatives had emerged throughout the 19th century. Their mission was to cater to those the banks couldn’t bother to serve: low-income urban households, artisans, #smallbusiness, #farmers , #women and the #young. While Deutschbankers and their peers preferred to wine & dine, wheel & deal with the glamourous clients, those they would not even consider their equal financiers collected savings and lent on reputation not just collateral, they pooled clients and created access to markets and technologies.   And grew. And grew. And grew. And merged. And formed apex institutions. And professionalized. And learned the ropes of high finance. And internationalized. And digitized. And earned and kept the loyalty of their clients who grew with them.   Today, the former small fry of inclusive financiers are the backbone of German finance. Mittelstand company owners can use their Luxembourg and Swiss wealth management services, invest in their mutual funds, get trade finance from their Singapore branches or have them as joint book-runners for security issuances in London and New York.   The most Deutsche Bank could do was buy its way to some 15% of the market. Some 2/3 of German Retail and SME Finance are blocked off by the coops and the savings banks.   So, if you’re a bank CEO with ambition today in #Nigeria or #Indonesia, in #Colombia or #Pakistan, in #Morocco, #Egypt or #Peru – no need to ask McK what to do. Just think of Deutsche Bank – and what kind of growth story you want to set the course for. And then, let's have a conversation. :)

India will be the next
