A financial solutions marketplace, that enables the rapid delivery of cutting-edge bank-agnostic financial SaaS platforms.

Synthix was founded in 2025 to tackle the challenges faced by businesses in payments, investments and overall treasury management using innovative technology.

It began as an innovative idea: to unite the agility of a fintech startup with the strength and trust of a global bank.

Synthix operates as an independent venture backed by Deutsche Bank’s deep financial expertise, global reach and market strength.

Our parent bank’s heritage of financial excellence and risk management forms our foundation, and our independent team of technologists and finance experts drive a forward-thinking culture. This unique origin gives us the freedom to innovate rapidly without compromising on trust – a financial technology partner that institutions can rely on.

With offices in London, Synthix technology solutions are available internationally.

Why Synthix?

Accelerating digital transformation

Recognising the speed at which businesses today demand digital solutions, Deutsche Bank has launched Synthix as an independent business, yet one that is deeply connected to the institution.

Extending banking capabilities through technology

Synthix was built to harness advanced technologies in ways that complement Deutsche Bank’s infrastructure – enabling innovation at a pace and flexibility that traditional systems were not designed to support. As an agile, product-engineering-led company with a technology-focused operating model, Synthix complements the bank’s capabilities, accelerating the delivery of services that integrate seamlessly with client workflows.

Creating a trusted financial ecosystem

Synthix functions as a financial marketplace where innovation meets institutional credibility.

By enabling Synthix, Deutsche Bank aims to build a robust ecosystem that attracts best-in-class partners, vendors and innovators, ultimately delivering holistic financial solutions through one trusted platform.

Our Story

Our vision was clear; Enable our clients to thrive in the digital era by making banking an effortless part of business operations and decision making, not just a siloed, standalone service. This means banking flows naturally into every decision, turning everyday interactions into opportunities for growth and success.

Our purpose: to simplify complexity, to integrate seamlessly, and to empower strategic decision-making through a single platform ecosystem that orchestrates payments, treasury management, investments, and beyond.

Our journey began with a bold idea; Creating Synthix as an independent entity, strategically positioned as a one-of-a-kind marketplace platform of bank-agnostic financial platforms outside of our parent bank's infrastructure. Why? Because we understood clients have multiple banking and financial services relationships. Synthix isn't merely an extension of our bank, it's a critical part of our clients' own infrastructure, an enabler of their unique ecosystems.

We don't aim to provide financial services directly; rather, we act as a connective value-added technology service layer, enabling businesses to effortlessly consume financial services from multiple providers within one integrated operational ecosystem. By embedding financial APIs directly into our intuitive platforms, we make financial workflows transparent, efficient, and strategic.

Why now? Embedded finance and open APIs have opened a transformative opportunity, allowing us to seamlessly integrate financial services into client-specific business workflows. We didn’t just follow this trend - we started by redefining embedded finance.

While most banks chase embedded finance by connecting their APIs to third-party platforms, we went beyond. By harnessing our bank’s APIs, we created powerful platform solutions where banking isn’t an add on; it’s built in, and where everything is connected - data, transactions, and insights, all in one place. We do the hard work of integrating banking and payment APIs into end-to-end solutions, so our clients don't have to!

No more scattered information, as banking is transformed into a contextual, purpose-driven experience that means seamless connections, instant insights, and actionable intelligence; with every transaction feeding into a unified ecosystem designed for smarter growth.

This isn’t just embedded finance. It’s connected finance.
