BNP Paribas is a French international banking group and one of the largest banks in the world.

The group operates through three main divisions: Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB), Commercial, Personal Banking & Services (CPBS), and Investment & Protection Services (IPS). Its mission is to contribute to a responsible and sustainable economy by financing and advising clients according to the highest ethical standards.
