Webinar: How Deutsche Bank future-proofed acquiring with Silverflow
Watch our on-demand webinar to see the transformative partnership between Deutsche Bank and Silverflow. We will delve into how Deutsche Bank, in its strategic re-entry into the acquiring business, chose Silverflow, a new fintech, over established legacy players to offer their customers an innovative payments solution.
Deutsche Bank’s strategic move into acquiring highlights a shift in banking: corporate clients now expect payment acceptance capabilities as a standard, not an add-on. In our recent webinar, Kilian Thalhammer (Deutsche Bank) and Robert Kraal (Silverflow) shared how this initiative came to life and why partnering with a modern fintech was key to success.
Why Focus on Acquiring?
Deutsche Bank expanded into acquiring to meet client demand and leverage synergies with its corporate banking services. By combining acquiring with existing banking relationships, clients benefit from streamlined settlements, better liquidity management, and a shorter value chain.
The Silverflow Advantage
Building everything in-house wasn’t the fastest path. Silverflow’s cloud-native, API-driven platform offered the flexibility, scalability, and speed that traditional systems can’t match. Together, Deutsche Bank and Silverflow created a fully collaborative partnership: joint go-to-market strategies, combined client meetings, and aligned sales efforts. This ensured transparency and trust for clients from day one.
Key milestones include:
Selecting a modern platform tailored to the bank’s goals
Processing the first live transaction
Securing large-scale client adoption
Lessons for Banks
For banks exploring fintech partnerships, the key is openness and collaboration. Focus on areas where modern technology can accelerate growth, and embrace the agility, transparency, and innovation fintechs bring to the table.
Looking Ahead
Deutsche Bank and Silverflow share a vision for global expansion and scalable solutions, showing that combining bank stability with fintech innovation is the best path to future-proof acquiring.
