BNP Paribas Securities Services is Europe’s leading securities services provider and ranks fifth worldwide by assets under custody*. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of BNP Paribas, we deliver independent flexibility and commitment, backed by the strength of a leading universal bank. BNP Paribas was named “Global bank of the year” in the 2008 (The Banker).

The closer the better is not only our motto, it is our philosophy. We bring local market, tax and regulatory expertise into one of the industry’s most extensive global networks. We cover over 100 markets, with our own offices in 28 countries, facilitating clients’ investment strategies and optimising market opportunities around the world.

BNP Paribas Securities Services is a member of infrastructure steering committees across our locations. We participate in and influence the decision processes, enabling our clients to interpret the implications of market change, maximising opportunity and minimising cost and risk.

Operating across the entire investment cycle, BNP Paribas Securities Services delivers a one-stop shop for all asset classes both onshore and offshore, across the globe. We offer Europe’s most comprehensive product range and in-depth knowledge of the buy side, sell side and the issuer segment, to partner our clients in their growth ambitions in an increasingly challenging financial environment.

Clients can be assured of our long-term commitment to investing in the industry, anticipating solutions to meet their changing needs and the hurdles created in constantly evolving markets. In the last two years, BNP Paribas Securities Services has made three significant acquisitions to strengthen our product base and added four locations to our on-the-ground network. We have developed bespoke packages for alternative funds and sovereign wealth managers, as well as solutions for today’s increasingly fragmented post-trade environment. Today we are actively shaping the TARGET2-Securities landscape and developing the optimal solutions to meet our clients’ needs tomorrow.
