11 Jun 2026 Deutsche Bank AktiengesellschaftDeutsche Bank AG: AUD 2m penalty for inaccurate derivative trade reporting AustraliaDisclosure and reporting obligations €1.21m

ASIC issued an infringement notice because on 208 business days between October 2024 and August 2025 Deutsche Bank had not accurately reported the “direction” fields for 20,483 outstanding and 244,091 terminated or matured OTC derivative transactions, mostly foreign exchange trades, to trade repositories. The bank allegedly paid AUD 2 million under the infringement notice; payment is not an admission of guilt.

What organisations can take from it

Derivative reporting systems need plausibility checks on mandatory fields, otherwise individual errors add up to systemic breaches.

28 Aug 2025 Deutsche Bank AktiengesellschaftDeutsche Bank: HKD 23.8m fine in Hong Kong over fee and disclosure errors Hong KongOrganisational requirements €2.62m

Deutsche Bank AG was publicly reprimanded and fined 23,800,000 HKD in Hong Kong. Clients were overcharged fees of about 5 million USD in management fees on 39 accounts, 10,988 EUR at 92 customers and 493 USD at 32 customers, because agreed discounts were not applied, floating rate debt instruments were wrongly valued and fund prices were not updated. 261 single stock and 1,590 industry research reports lacked disclosure of investment banking relationships. 40 ETFs were given too low a product risk rating. The proceedings stemmed from the bank's self-reports.

What organisations can take from it

Agreed fee discounts, valuation data from external vendors and disclosures in research reports need regular reconciliation so that system errors do not persist for years.
