Deutsche Bank AG plans to cut about 800 senior back-office staff as part of the German lender’s goal to make a further 500 million euros ($552 million) of cost savings.

Chief Executive Officer Christian Sewing said that the bank is cutting about 5% of senior non-client facing staff after increasing its cost-cut target to 2.5 billion euros. He spoke on a call with reporters alongside first-quarter results.
