The BNP Paribas Group

BNP Paribas, a European leader with a global footprint

BNP Paribas, the European leader in banking and financial services, is present in 64 countries and territories and employs more than 180,000 people.

Our organisation is structured around three operating divisions. Their business lines cooperate closely, as part of our integrated model, to meet the needs of all our clients in a coordinated manner:  

  • Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB), connects corporate clients needing financing and institutional clients looking for investment opportunities;  
  • Commercial, Personal Banking & Services (CPBS), brings together all the Group’s commercial & personal banking and several specialised businesses;
  • Investment & Protection Services (IPS), combines a unique continuum of products and services across protection, saving, investment and real-estate.  

BNP Paribas’ operating divisions are organised to intensify cooperation between the business lines: a global and joint approach makes it possible to enrich the expertise offered to our clients, to advise and support them throughout a long-term relationship.

With the strength of a solid diversified and integrated model, the Group supports all its clients (individuals, professionals, companies and institutions) in their development and the success of their projects through financing, investment, savings and protection solutions.

To this end, the Group leverages leading platforms and businesses in Europe as well as a strong international presence, particularly in the Americas and Asia-Pacific.

BNP Paribas also implements a Social and Environmental Responsibility approach in all its activities, enabling it to contribute to the construction of a sustainable future, while ensuring the Group’s performance and stability.
