BNP Paribas in Japan
BNP Paribas Group was created in 2000 through a merger between Banque Nationale de Paris （ＢＮＰ）and Paribas and has been achieving successful growth in Japan as a leading foreign financial institution. Consolidation of the Group with its powerful network and extensive portfolio of businesses has enabled us to provide outstanding financial services to Japanese customers.
BNP Paribas' history in Japan dates back as far as 1867 when Comptoir National d'Escompte de Paris, the former BNP, opened a branch office in Yokohama. Later in 1907, Paribas participated in the Government of Japan's bond issue in Europe. With the solid base of operations both groups have fostered throughout this long history, there are currently more than 800 specialists in the BNP Paribas Group companies offering various financial services in Japan.
Based upon the Group's wealth of financial resources and high credit rating （AA+ from S&P and Aa1 from Moody's ）, we provide innovative and high quality financial services to meet the needs of Japanese customers through our core business operations of corporate and investment banking in Japan. BNP Paribas is expanding its lines of business from wholesale to retail through its affiliated asset management, and life and non-life insurance companies.
BNP Paribas has accumulated a vast range of know-how in its various fields of expertise. With this solid foundation of successful performance and rich experience, we are firmly convinced that we can continue to provide advice and services of value to our Japanese customers.
