It operates in 26 countries in Europe and the Americas, and serves the financing needs at the point of sale (both physical and digital) of 25 million customers.
In the first nine months of 2024, DCB generated €9.6 billion in revenues (20% of total group revenue) and €1.5 billion in attributable profit. The business has achieved several milestones in the year, including the launch of Openbank in the US and Mexico, and the announcement of partnerships with Amazon and Apple in Germany to provide financing solutions through Zinia.
