How to Connect Your Deutsche Bank Account to a Personal Finance App

Deutsche Bank is one of Europe's largest banks, and connecting it to a personal finance app gives you a complete view of your spending, savings, and investments. Here's how to do it safely.

Step 1 — Choose a European-compatible finance app

Not every app supports European banks. Finch is built for Europe and supports Deutsche Bank via PSD2-regulated Open Banking.

Step 2 — Authorize via Open Banking

Bank connections in the EU use Open Banking APIs regulated under the PSD2 directive. You'll be redirected to Deutsche Bank, log in with your online-banking credentials, and explicitly approve read-only data sharing.

Step 3 — Review what's shared

• Account balances
• Transaction history
• Investment positions (where applicable)

Finch can never initiate payments — connections are read-only by design.

Step 4 — Manage consent

You can revoke access at any time directly in Deutsche Bank online banking under "Third-party access" or "Open Banking consents", and also in Finch settings.

Security

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Finch never stores your Deutsche Bank credentials — only the Open Banking consent token.
