BANGALORE: Deutsche Bank has announced its foray into the business process outsourcing (BPO) space with the launch of Deutsche Network Services Pvt Ltd, (dNETS) in Bangalore. A wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank, dNETS will initially commence a pilot-processing center in Bangalore for global cash operations and electronic payment processing. dNETS will process payment transactions for Deutsche Bank entities around the world including those located in New York, Frankfurt, London and several Asian countries. Initially, electronic payments processing will be undertaken in dollar and euro and will eventually broaden to include other currencies.
