BNP Paribas “World’s Best Bank”

BNP Paribas celebrates “World’s Best Bank” in Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2016 by sounding gong

The Euronext Paris listed BNP Paribas (ticker symbol: BNP) has been named “World’s Best Bank” for 2016 by leading global financial publication Euromoney, in its prestigious annual Awards for Excellence. On this occasion they visit the Amsterdam exchange and open trading.

The principal accolade of “World’s Best Bank” was one of eight wins in total by BNP Paribas, which also included the regional awards “Best Bank in Western Europe” and “Best Bank for Transaction Services in Western Europe”. Euromoney said: “BNP Paribas is that rarity today: a large bank actually delivering on its promises. It is producing better returns even than many of the big US banks, despite being anchored in a low-growth home region, all while proving the benefits of a diversified business model.  Only excellent bank management teams can satisfy shareholders, regulators and customers all at once today. BNP Paribas has one of the very best. Loyal, technically proficient, not given to boasting or to grand visions, this team has built capital, reducing risk and boosting its customer market share. It also boasts a number of powerful global franchises, including a strong corporate and institutional banking business which is starting to excel in transaction services.”

BNP Paribas is a leading bank in Europe with an international reach. It has a presence in 75 countries, with more than 189,000 employees, including over 146,000 in Europe.
