The claims ledger

Claims specific enough to be falsified — and the ones that remain the venue's own measurement.

Testable claims

  • Autobahn is Deutsche Bank's next-generation FX trading platform (db.com press release, 23 Jul 2012)
  • Autobahn FX is Deutsche Bank's primary trading platform connecting clients (investment funds, corporates, other banks) and venues (exchanges, ECNs) — Google Cloud customer story on Deutsche Bank infrastructure
  • Deutsche Bank was founded in 1870 to accompany German companies abroad; over 150 years serving clients (db.com who-we-are)

Claims we cannot verify from outside

  • Autobahn client-count and volume claims (self-measured)
  • EUR 1tn-per-day e-trading commitment figure from 2012 press release (historical, self-measured)
