Rule changes can help with pan-India customer onboarding: Deutsche Bank

German lender Deutsche Bank will be focussing on the digital channel over the branch model to grow its business in the country, a top official said. Changes in rules by the RBI mandating geographical location restrictions while onboarding customers will be of help, Kaushik Shaparia, chief executive of Deutsche Bank Group, India, told PTI. "If the regulator were to permit digital access over and above the geographical restrictions, I am convinced we can do more. "Currently, there are restrictions as to where you can onboard clients, where your locations are, and the customer has to have an office near one of your locations etc," he said on the sidelines of a bank event here. When asked about the branch strategy in the country, Shaparia quipped that "geography is history", and added that the bank's aim will be to focus more on digital. "Maybe in the past, having a robust branch strategy was critical but with digitisation, geography has become history. So, I think our approach would

Deutsche Bank will cut 3,500 jobs even as it records $4.5 billion profit

Deutsche Bank said on Thursday that it would cut 3,500 jobs as part of efforts to slash costs by 2.5 billion euros (USD 2.7 billion) through next year and boost profits even as Germany's largest lender benefits from higher global interest rates. The bank said it would seek to streamline its marketing network and computer systems and software as it seeks to cut costs. It said the reduction in the number of positions would mostly be for jobs that don't involve directly dealing with customers. The announcement came alongside the release of annual profit figures showing the bank made 4.2 billion euros (USD 4.5 billion) last year, a decline of 16 per cent compared with 2022. It was, however, the fourth straight year in which the bank made a profit. The bank has benefited along with its peers from the global rise in interest rates, which can increase the profit margin between what the bank pays out in interest and what it can earn. CEO Christian Sewing said the results demonstrated ...

NCLT orders liquidation of Overnite Express with immediate effect

The NCLT on Monday ordered the liquidation of Overnite Express after admitting the plea of its lender Deutsche Bank AG against a resolution plan submitted by a member of the debt-ridden company's suspended board. While the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) bars promoters of a corporate debtor from submitting a resolution plan under the CIRP, there is relaxation for MSMEs. The resolution plan was submitted citing that the company is an MSME under the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process. A two-member bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) ordered the liquidation of corporate debtor Overnite Express "with immediate effect" as a time frame of more than 330 days of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) has already elapsed. It also appointed Tarun Jain as liquidator of the corporate debtor to carry on the liquidation process as per the relevant provision of the IBC 2016. A resolution plan was submitted on behalf of a member of the suspended board of Overni
