Deutsche Bank Deploys Farsight’s On-Premise AI Across Investment Banking and Capital Markets #
Deutsche Bank has rolled out an on-premise artificial intelligence platform in partnership with New York-based startup Farsight, embedding AI capabilities into its Investment Banking and Capital Markets teams across Europe and North America, the companies announced on 13 October 2026.
The deployment gives bankers access to AI tools for sensitive client work without routing data through external cloud infrastructure. By running Farsight’s platform inside its own technology environment, Deutsche Bank said it retains full control over proprietary data, historical work product and internal workflows, a priority for a globally regulated institution handling confidential client information.
The platform integrates with PowerPoint, Excel, Word and email, allowing teams to produce client-ready materials such as pitch decks, confidential information memoranda, deal memos and financial models. A conversational AI interface lets users generate and refine documents by drawing on the bank’s existing materials, internal standards and team-specific processes, with the system adapting to user context and feedback over time.
George Tierney, Managing Director and Global Chief Operating Officer for M&A at Deutsche Bank, said each group within the bank holds distinct standards for what reaches clients, and that the combination of control and customisation is critical to deploying AI effectively within a large, regulated enterprise like Deutsche Bank.
Farsight describes itself as a firm-native AI platform built around each institution’s own data, precedents, templates and standards. The system can operate partially or entirely within a client’s infrastructure, allowing staff to apply AI to confidential tasks while keeping sensitive information and workflow records on-premises. The company works with firms across investment banking, private equity and corporate development.
The rollout follows a wider pattern among financial institutions of moving away from general-purpose AI assistants and isolated pilots toward workflow-specific tools designed to meet the data governance requirements of regulated environments.
