For almost three decades of his professional career, Eduard Mosler was associated with Disconto-Gesellschaft and Deutsche Bank.

The doctor of law initially began his professional career in public service, where he worked as a court assessor, before joining Berliner Handels-Gesellschaft as a legal counsel in 1900. Just two years later, at the age of twenty-nine, he was admitted to the circle of business owners. Mosler worked alongside the famous Carl Fürstenberg and was already being discussed in the press as his successor. Many a deal that outwardly appeared to be Fürstenberg's achievement originated from Mosler's considerations.

However, Mosler did not remain with Berliner Handels-Gesellschaft, but joined the management of Disconto-Gesellschaft in Berlin in 1911. Here, he primarily worked in the stock exchange business. Another main area of his activity was rationalization in the banking sector, which he himself successfully realized in 1929 through the merger of Disconto-Gesellschaft with Deutsche Bank. Together with Oscar Schlitter of Deutsche Bank, he had negotiated the terms for the merger of the two banks. The fact that after the merger, the men of Disconto-Gesellschaft had the majority on the Management Board of the united bank demonstrated Mosler's skillful negotiation tactics. He himself was a member of the Management Board until 1939 and, after the forced resignation of Oscar Wassermann and Georg Solmssen by the National Socialists, assumed the role of spokesperson for Deutsche Bank in 1934.

He skillfully managed to fend off the initial criticism of the National Socialists against the major banks, but had to accept increasing restrictions on the business freedom of his institution. Due to his mother's Jewish heritage, the daughter of the former Prussian Finance Minister Heinrich von Friedberg (who had converted in 1829), Mosler himself was exposed to attacks.

In addition to his duties at the bank, Mosler took on important positions early on, which involved representing the interests of the entire private banking sector. Since 1911, he achieved outstanding results at the head of the so-called "Stempelvereinigung," which he transformed from an initially not very significant association of Berlin banks and bankers into a powerful instrument of banking policy. He succeeded in bringing about a standardization of the banks' terms and conditions. Through these "General Agreements," adopted by the banking associations in 1913, the credit banks were united in common action based on essential principles of their business policy. At the same time, Mosler worked with the Berlin Chamber of Commerce, the Central Committee of the Reichsbank, and the Central Association of German Banking and Bankers. For many years, he was also chairman of the stock exchange board in Berlin and, in the 1930s, particularly opposed efforts to artificially organize stock exchange trading – especially by relocating all securities transactions to the stock exchange.

After his departure from the Management Board of Deutsche Bank at the beginning of 1939, Mosler was elected Chairman of the Supervisory Board shortly before his death. The Berliner Börsen-Zeitung wrote on the occasion of his death: "The man whose work extended far beyond the institution to which he had belonged for so long, and who dedicated such a large part of his work not only to the entire banking sector but to the German economy as a whole, did not like it when people wrote about him. It is characteristic of him that he was listed in the telephone book as a retired court assessor.
