Deutsche Bank to launch “EverOn” enabling USD cross-border book transfers 365 days a year

Deutsche Bank is launching a new global payments innovation that enables clients to
process US dollar-denominated cross-border book transfers, 365 days a year, including
weekends and public holidays. The new offer – “EverOn” – will be available for clients from
the end of October.

“This is a major step in meeting the evolving needs of institutional clients who demand
faster, more reliable and uninterrupted payment capabilities. As one of the world’s largest
clearers, Deutsche Bank is uniquely positioned to set new standards for efficiency and
reliability in global payments,” said Ciarán Byrne, Global Head of Product Management and
Client Solutions, Institutional Cash Management, Deutsche Bank. “With EverOn, we are
beginning the journey of removing the traditional barriers of banking hours, cut-off times
and holiday closures, setting our clients up for true 24x7x365 access to cross-border
transaction processing as soon as the necessary market infrastructures become available”,
Byrne added. Phase two will include euro payments processing.

The new offer allows clients to process US dollar book transfers every single day of the year.
It also means improved liquidity and working capital management through “always on”
settlement readiness and ensuring payments are processed when clients and their
counterparties need them most – whether in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Europe or the
Americas. EverOn also supports seamless integration with ISO 20022 standards, delivering
greater automation, transparency and interoperability across markets.

“Our clients increasingly expect the same immediacy in cross-border payments as they do in
domestic real-time systems,” added Ciarán Byrne. “EverOn not only meets this demand but
also helps financial institutions, corporates and investors unlock new opportunities by
making payments truly always on.”

By launching EverOn, Deutsche Bank is building on its leadership in clearing and
correspondent banking while aligning with the G20 roadmap to make cross-border
payments cheaper, faster, more transparent and universally accessible.
