Deutsche Bank will pay $1.9 billion to settle claims that it didn’t provide sufficient information about mortgage-backed securities it sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The agreement struck with the Federal Housing Finance Agency covers the period of 2005 to 2007 and resolves the bank’s largest mortgage-related litigation case, the bank said in a statement on its website today.
