BNP Paribas in Australia
Overview
BNP Paribas has been supporting Australian businesses and the Australian economy for 130 years. Established in Australia since 1881, BNP Paribas arrived here as the Comptoir National d'Escompte de Paris to finance the Australia-Europe wool trade. Until the deregulation of the Australian banking industry in the early 1980's, it was in the fortunate position of being the sole major foreign bank granted with a banking licence to operate within Australia.
Today the Australian arm of the giant BNP Paribas Banking Group has a presence in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Wellington (NZ), and currently employs over 750 staff. It is the 8th largest foreign bank by assets in Australia (as at December 2010).
Since its inception, BNP Paribas has been a major participant in the Australian corporate lending and financial markets, and some of our client relationships have extended over 100 years.
