Deutsche Bank Raises Bonus Pool 6.6% After Mixed Performance

Deutsche Bank AG raised its bonus pool for last year by 6.6%, less than some of its Wall Street peers, amid a mixed performance by the different business units.

Total year-end bonuses rose to €2.68 billion ($3.1 billion) for 2025, from €2.51 billion a year earlier, Germany’s largest lender said in its annual report, published Thursday. Employees at the investment bank saw bonuses rise about 4%, while they increased more than 11% at the private bank, which includes the wealth management business that the lender is trying to build out.
