Project finance
Replacing ageing infrastructure, upgrading transportation and improving energy efficiency create a need for private financing through the debt markets. Deutsche Bank provides administrative services to project, acquisition, corporate and other financing across the infrastructure and energy markets
Your trusted partner
Larger projects with complex finance structures require an experienced partner to coordinate and manage the multitude of administrative requirements throughout the transaction life cycle.
Deutsche Bank project finance specialists provide an award-winning administrative service. As a trustee and/or agent, we monitor the terms of financing agreements, hold and safekeep collateral for the benefit of secured creditors, monitor transaction reporting and covenant compliance requirements, communicate with investors, maintain project accounts and administer cash flows.
The Deutsche Bank advantage

For example, as agent in the construction phase, we release payments against certified completion of work. In addition, as account bank during the operational phase, we manage cash accounts, payments and reserve balances.
Solution-oriented approach: We work with our clients to align our offering with their needs. We provide reporting customised for sponsors, creditors and/or investors; covenant monitoring on our clients’ behalf for compliance with project documents; and payment waterfalls in line with transaction documents.
