This changed at the end of the decade when the bank ventured into general retail banking. Within a couple of years the number of private clients increased immensely corresponding with a strong growth of the domestic branch network.

International issuing business became more important as Germany moved from being a debtor to being a creditor nation. A major milestone was the 1958 flotation of a foreign-currency bond for the Anglo-American Corporation of South Africa, with which Deutsche Bank reopened the German bond market to foreign companies.

International business grew far more important in the 1970s. Deutsche Bank began to take shape as a global group. New branches abroad supported this development. The evolution of financial markets, technological progress and the acquisition of major banks in Italy, Spain, the UK, and the United States have all meant that Deutsche Bank has changed more in the last decades than in the preceding century.
