Dimitri,
On behalf of many silent readers who receive copies of your very informative posts to this forum on the banking topics, ‘Danke Schoen’. Welcome any time. I’d like to do something with DKB, so I’ll have to improve my German, that’s all, and find a business connection and people inside the bank with whom to make a personal and business relation.
This ‘out of bounds’ tactic has worked for me in the past, in the US, and I’m not American, and have never lived there. Just have a major bank client, in tight with the manager, and strings can be pulled.
Good idea to be a member of various business groups, and to be known.
