BNP Paribas SA

BNP Paribas SA is a leader in European banking and features among the top 6 strongest banks in the world.  Along with Société Générale and Crédit Agricole, it forms one third of France’s Big Three. Having started back in 1848, the company has been around for more than 100 years. However, it was only after the 2000 merger of Banque Nationale de Paris (BNP) and the investment bank Paribas that the BNP Paribas Group was born.

The bank has a presence in North America, Europe, Africa and the Asia Pacific region, offering a wide range of banking services to its clients worldwide.

Ratings

In April 2019, the ratings agency S&P Global Ratings upgraded BNP Paribas’ long-term international issuer rating from “A” to “A+” with a “stable” outlook.

Then, in June 2019, Fitch Ratings affirmed BNP Paribas’ international long-term issuing rating of “A+”, with a “stable” outlook.
