Emerging trends in securities services and how Deutsche Bank is responding to them

Amidst unprecedented regulatory change, uncertain macro environments and digitisation, the seismic shift in the securities industry should create opportunities and efficiencies for individual organisations as well as the industry as a whole. The change is forcing clients to revaluate their needs and business models, which is leading to new conversations with services providers such as Deutsche Bank about partnerships that would best suit those new needs and business models. Therefore collaboration is the end game and while service providers are also adjusting to the new norm, the seismic shift has led our organisation to adopt a more client centric approach, by listening to what clients need and engaging in conversations about how we can help. With this approach clients have selected the solutions that best meet their needs and that help them to navigate the changes. Deutsche Bank is working with them on multi-market end-to-end solutions which accommodate their goals. We are responding to clients’ needs by leveraging multiple areas of the bank to provide seamless solutions. At the same time, as Global Transaction Banking grows from strength to strength, the division is responding to industry trends such as blockchain and digitisation and their potential to transform financial services.
