DB Global Technology, Deutsche Bank’s technology centre in Romania, has doubled in size over the past five years, growing from approximately 1,100 employees to more than 2,150 today. In 2025 alone, the company hired around 200 specialists and expects to maintain a similar growth pace in 2026.
The expansion of the team has also been reflected in the company’s physical footprint in Bucharest. This year, DB Global Technology leased and fitted out two additional office floors, adding capacity for more than 600 employees.
“The Bucharest Technology Centre already contributes to defining technological directions with global impact. Our engineers in Bucharest are not only building technology – they are directly contributing to solutions used by our clients and businesses globally. Additionally, more and more colleagues are stepping into leadership roles with group-wide responsibilities, reflecting the maturity and expertise in Romania,” said Mihnea Chivulescu, General Manager of DB Global Technology Romania.
Local teams develop and operate applications and platforms used globally across Deutsche Bank as well as critical functions including cybersecurity and risk management. These capabilities play a key role in enabling Deutsche Bank to support its clients globally, from digital banking services to complex financing and risk management solutions.
The integration of artificial intelligence capabilities and technologies is a key area of development for the Bucharest centre. Today, the local AI community includes approximately 500 engineers who support skills development, access to new technologies and the implementation of innovation initiatives. The use of AI is a key enabler of Deutsche Bank’s broader transformation, helping to increase efficiency, improve risk management and enhance client services.
The adoption of AI is already visible at scale in day-to-day operations. More than half of the local team uses tools such as Google Gemini Code Assist and GitHub Copilot to improve efficiency in activities including code generation, application refactoring, test creation and script development. The use of these technologies is aligned with Deutsche Bank’s principles for the responsible use of artificial intelligence, with developers remaining fully accountable for the code they deliver and completing dedicated training programmes before using these tools.
“AI is not just about access to new tools. It is about developing a way of working that enables people to learn, experiment and build solutions with real impact. Our local team is actively involved in developing such solutions and continues to demonstrate the level of competence we have built here over the years,” added Mihnea Chivulescu.
