BNP Paribas

BNP Paribas was founded in 2000 when Banque Nationale de Paris (BNP) and Paribas merged, but its corporate identity dates back to its founding as a French national bank in 1848.

This French global banking firm, which operates in 72 countries across five continents, is Europe's largest. It was also notable for receiving the highest ever punishment as compensation for breaking US sanctions in 2014, although it remains a market behemoth, ranking among the top 10 banks in the world. The Financial Stability Board considers the corporation to be a systemically significant bank.

BNP handles four domestic retail banking markets in France, Italy, Belgium, and Luxembourg. As a result of BNP's purchase of Fortis Bank for 75% in April 2009, the Belgian bank now holds the most deposits in the Eurozone. In the year 1848, BNP Paribas was founded. The company's major source of revenue is retail banking. More than three-quarters of the company's revenue comes from client accounts.

BNP Parabis is based in Paris, France, and has a workforce of over 190,000 employees. The majority of its annual revenue comes from its day-to-day client accounts.
