Russia: Deutsche Bank to close down its remaining IT operations & to offer severance packages to employees, according to FT sources

Deutsche Bank to close down its remaining IT operations in Russia, 12 April 2023

Deutsche Bank is winding down its remaining software technology centres in Moscow and St Petersburg as Germany’s largest lender ends two decades of heavy reliance on Russian IT expertise in the wake of the country’s invasion of Ukraine.

“We continue to de-risk our operations in the Russia Technology Centre and have expanded the options available to our employees to include leaving by mutual agreement alongside relocation and remaining on the platform,” the bank said in a statement, adding that the process was “in full compliance with relevant Russian legislation”...

The German group subsequently offered all its staff in Russia the option of transferring their jobs to Germany. Almost half of them took up the offer, and as many employees relocated with their partners and children, some 2,000 individuals moved.

Those left in Russia have been cut off from direct access to any Deutsche Bank IT systems, with their main task becoming “knowledge transfer” to colleagues outside of Russia. As this process is coming to a close, and with western sanctions against limiting the availability of software in the country, the bank now wants to shed its remaining staff in Russia over the coming six months...
