The bank’s head of operations for corporate and investment banking Mark Matthews told Financial News that machine learning tools have already saved “680,000 hours of manual work”.
Matthews say the bank has so far used bots to process five million transactions in its corporate bank and perform 3.4 million checks within its investment bank.
As part of its $6.6 billion savings initiative over the next three years, Deutsche Bank announced in July 2019 that it would be cutting 18,000 people from the company over the next three years. Last month it was reported that its home market in Germany would suffer the bulk of the cuts.
