(4 June 2025 – Europe) Deutsche Bank and Mastercard are expanding their partnership to accelerate open banking payments adoption across Europe, enhancing its Merchant Solutions offering with account-to-account (A2A) payment capabilities.
The collaboration will integrate Mastercard’s open banking tech into Deutsche Bank’s platform, enabling merchants to offer real-time pay-by-bank options via Request to Pay (R2P), with immediate processing and confirmation.
“With the further expansion of our partnership, we combine our open banking payments technology with Deutsche Bank’s payments expertise and big merchant base across Europe, and together we’re shaping a future where account-based payments are becoming the new norm,” said Valerie Nowak, EVP, Mastercard Open Banking Europe.
