Brief history and founding

Deutsche Bank as a group was founded in Berlin in 1870 and has developed into a global financial institution with networks across Europe, the Americas and Asia. Deutsche Bank’s operations in Belgium date back many decades, and the bank maintains a Belgian legal entity (Deutsche Bank Belgium SA/NV) to serve domestic clients and multinational firms operating in Belgium.

Over time the Belgian operation has aligned with broader group strategy, with a focus on corporate and investment banking, private banking and asset-management-related services for local and international clients. Like many international banks with local subsidiaries, Deutsche Bank Belgium has evolved to match client needs and regulatory developments in the Belgian and European markets.

• Private banking and wealth management for high-net-worth clients
• Asset management and institutional investor services (often in coordination with group affiliates)
