About BNP Paribas, succursale de Luxembourg

BNP Paribas, succursale de Luxembourg is the Luxembourg branch of BNP Paribas S.A., operating in the country under the EU passport for credit institutions. The branch serves primarily corporate and institutional clients with transaction banking and financing services, including cash management and payments (SEPA and cross-border via SWIFT), liquidity and notional pooling, trade finance (letters of credit, guarantees, documentary collections), corporate lending and structured finance, and access to the group’s markets platform for foreign exchange and interest rate risk management. Accounts and services are arranged under bespoke mandates, with eligibility, limits, and pricing set after due diligence; retail banking in Luxembourg is provided by the separate subsidiary BGL BNP Paribas. Onboarding follows CSSF-governed AML/KYC standards and EU tax transparency rules (FATCA/CRS), with timelines driven by ownership structure and jurisdictional risk; client classification and product suitability are assessed under MiFID II for investment and hedging products. Connectivity options include e-banking portals, host-to-host file exchange, SWIFT for corporates, and selected APIs; cut-off times, reporting formats, and processing windows follow the group’s Luxembourg service schedules. Deposits booked with the branch are covered by the French deposit guarantee scheme (Fonds de Garantie des Dépôts et de Résolution) up to EUR 100,000 per eligible depositor; investment services are subject to the French investor compensation scheme within applicable EU limits, with no Luxembourg top-up as coverage levels are aligned. The branch is registered locally as a foreign branch and is subject to Luxembourg conduct supervision by the CSSF, while prudential supervision of BNP Paribas S.A. is performed within the EU Single Supervisory Mechanism and by the French ACPR; public financial and risk disclosures are published at group level (including Pillar 3), and branch-level financials are limited. Standard fees typically include account and channel maintenance, payment and collection charges, cash management modules, trade finance issuance and confirmation fees, and lending-related commitment, utilization, and margin components; pricing for FX and derivatives reflects market spreads and credit costs. Clients should review contractual governing law and jurisdiction, which may be Luxembourg or French depending on product, and confirm booking entity and guarantee scheme coverage before placing deposits or entering into transactions.
