As a fintech partner of Deutsche Bank API Program you get priority support, exclusive co-marketing perks and networking events, and discounts on our premium APIs. From testing with real end users, building the partnership business case, technical implementation to joint marketing activities: our partnerships team will support you every step of the way.

Deutsche Bank API Program is open for all fintechs as well as startups and established corporates from many other industries – for example e-commerce, open data, education, insurtech, internet of things, real estate and mobility.

Once you apply to become a partner of Deutsche Bank API Program, our partnerships team will schedule a meeting with you in which we will jointly evaluate the unique benefits of a partnership. In this meeting, we will review and outline the appropriate partnership model, define the technical scope, build a business case and agree on the scope of joint marketing activities.

Following your application, we will usually schedule a kick-off meeting within 2-3 business days. If both sides agree to build a partnership, we will then follow up with a structured partnership review process to prepare a legally binding agreement. This review usually takes 4-8 weeks. Key areas of this review include planning and definition of the partnership model, technical scope, commercials and co-marketing, user testing and compliance. Please note that you can start testing our APIs any time by signing up on our developer portal (https://developer.db.com). Registration is free and only takes a few seconds.

Some partnership models include using premium APIs (see https://developer.db.com/products). We offer a value-based pricing model. This means that you will get an individual rate that will primarily be based on how much you can charge your customers using the products and services that you build on top of our APIs.

Some partnership models and APIs include the opportunity to resell Deutsche Bank products and services (e.g., opening up new cash accounts). We offer competitive commissions that will be jointly agreed upon as part of our partnership review process.

As a Deutsche Bank API partner, you can get access to more than 25 premium APIs. For example, cash account opening API, instant payments API, investments API, identity APIs and many more. Our APIs enable you to connect with millions of Deutsche Bank retail and business clients and to resell Deutsche Bank products and services.
