We need your help

Any reasonable suspicion of an actual or possible violation of law and regulatory or internal requirements in connection with Commerzbank AG in Germany and abroad as well as its subsidiaries can be reported (so-called "whistleblowing", hereinafter referred to as "report" or "notice"). This also includes information on actual or possible violations of human rights or of environmental obligations from the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz - LkSG).

You can file your report regardless of whether the suspicion is directed against individual employees or in connection with Commerzbank AG, one of our subsidiaries, our customers or third parties, e.g. a supplier.

Whistleblowing system

Help to clarify possible violations of laws, regulatory provisions and internal regulations and to take action against them by using our whistleblowing system for your report. Here you can submit reports by name or anonymously, under the provisions of the local law. We make sure to treat your reports strictly confidential. In doing so, we observe the legitimate interests of all parties involved in accordance with the applicable local laws.

Customer complaints regarding products and services of the Bank and our subsidiaries are not considered as whistleblowings. To file such reports, please use the well-known communication channels and contribute to improving the quality of our products and advice.
