The future of retail banking?
If you believe Deutsche Bank, its outlets will be devoid of complicated technology in future. Germany's top lender wants to make visiting it more pleasant for startups and others still needing a bank around the corner.
Make yourself comfortable
The cozy atmosphere of a living room is what Deutsche Bank wants to offer its customers. Instead of doing their banking business in a sterile, technology-laden environment, people are invited to lounge with friends and family, and can even bring their own gadgets. Feeling at home in a bank will be the priority.
No more queues
At Deutsche Bank, the teller's window is no longer, replaced by a main hall where workshops are held and bank staff meet customers directly. Cashiers are a thing of the past because there will be no banknotes to change hands anymore.
Metropolitan charm
Deutsche Bank's "Quartier Zukunft" design highlight Berlin's landmarks, for newcomers to the capital to get a first taste of life in the big city.
Startup comfort zone
Young, innovative startups are to become the main focus of Deutsche Bank's retail banking, ahead of private customers. They can work here and present their products, thus helping the bank to develop its business.
Digital coffee break
Should anyone need a break from all the dots and digits, an in-house coffee bar provides refreshments and snacks. Cashless payment is guaranteed in the digitized bank branch of the future.
Childcare on hand
Humans not robots will take care of your children when you bring them along for an appointment. A play area with toys make waiting for their parents a pleasant experience for them as well..
Club lounge for special guests
Don't have an office in Berlin? Deutsche Bank Club members can rent special rooms designed to fit both leisure and business. Do you want to enjoy opening hours from 8 am to 11 pm? Deutsche Bank says money won't decide who can use the club.
