Deutsche Bank, a publicly owned company headquartered in Germany, was founded in 1870 and employs approximately 73,340 individuals. The company reported $68.8B in revenue as of 2025. It operates as a multinational investment bank and financial services company, specializing in providing a comprehensive range of financial services.
Deutsche Bank on Thursday reported progress in simplifying legacy technology within its retail division, noting the selection of a new core banking system as it aims to reduce 15 existing systems to two. On the same day, the bank completed its €1 billion share-buyback program, acquiring 35.7 million treasury shares equivalent to 1.87% of its share capital at a volume-weighted average price of €28, and subsequently initiated another €500 million buyback program. This followed an earlier announcement by Deutsche Bank's Private Bank that it selected Thought Machine's Vault Core platform. This platform will begin replacing a web of 15 fragmented legacy core banking systems, a move described as the most ambitious infrastructure consolidation commitment by a systemically important European bank in 2026 and a clear signal of cloud-native core banking's integration into mainstream operations.
