FRANKFURT — On November 20, 2018, German financial regulator Bafin asked Deutsche Bank to provide information about its dealings with Danske Bank, a source close to the matter said.

The request came as Danske Bank remained under scrutiny over money-laundering allegations. According to the source, Bafin planned to review the material quickly before deciding whether to open a formal investigation into Deutsche Bank.

Deutsche Bank and Bafin both declined to comment.
