DEUTSCHE BANK AG-REGISTERED has been fined €8 million ($8.9 million) by Germany's financial regulator over customer migration failures at its Postbank unit. The penalty follows widespread disruptions during a 2023 IT platform integration that locked customers out of accounts. The enforcement action compounds regulatory pressures as the lender attempts to rebuild operational credibility.
