Three operating divisions to serve our customers

Three operating divisions to serve our customers

BNP Paribas is structured around three operating divisions: Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB); Commercial, Personal Banking & Services (CPBS) and Investment & Protection Services (IPS). With a focus on the needs of our customers and partners, these three divisions are the pillars of our diversified and integrated model. The three operating divisions are organised to increase cooperation between all our business lines and meet the changing expectations of our stakeholders. A global and joint approach enriches the expertise offered to our customers and provides them with continuous, long-term support for all their projects.

Corporate & Institutional Banking

Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB) acts as a bridge between two types of customers: corporate clients and institutional clients — banks, insurance companies and asset managers. It connects the financing needs of the former with the investment opportunities sought by the latter, by offering them tailor-made solutions in the areas of capital markets, securities services, financing, risk management, cash management and financial advice.

As part of the GTS 2025 strategic plan, CIB is pursuing its aim of becoming the leading European player among the major global investment banks, as well as the preferred partner of its customers in their transition to sustainable development. Present in three major regions — Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA); Americas; Asia-Pacific (APAC) — CIB’s teams work as closely as possible to support our customers’ needs through three dedicated business lines.
