With a robust historical foundation as a key bank for the German Mittelstand – firms which collectively account for the largest share of the country's economic output – and a core partner for institutional clients, Commerzbank has leveraged its deep client relationships to drive advancements in providing FX services to its established client base in Germany.
Commerzbank’s commitment to technological innovation was evident, with its in-house developed solutions playing a central role in price construction, distribution and risk management. By integrating e-trading with traditional voice trading desks, the bank offered clients a seamless and unified execution path.
