“I warmly thank voters, partners and clients for this distinction obtained by BNP Paribas Private Banking in France in the Euromoney Awards 2022. This year, our French Private Banking expertise and quality advisory service were applauded in all client segments, including Millennials and High and Ultra High Net Worth Individuals. This demonstrates that our efforts to increasingly segment our approach to meet our clients' expectations as well as possible are bearing fruit. Furthermore, I am delighted that BNP Paribas Private Banking in France has secured its leading position in ESG/sustainable investing. Our overall success reflects our advances and the collective talent of our organisation. The international network, BNP Paribas Wealth Management, was also named “Best Private Bank in Belgium” thanks to BNP Paribas Fortis Private Banking. Sanitary conditions permitting, an award ceremony will be held in London in April.”

In terms of Impact, the private bank also ranks #5 in the world and #2 for ESG/Sustainable Investing in Western Europe and #4 in APAC.

Finally, as we continue to focus on entrepreneurs and families (read 2021 Global Entrepreneur Report and the Nexus initiative), we achieved #1 ranking for Serving Business Owners in Belgium and France, #2 in Monaco as well as #4 in Germany, Hong Kong, Italy and Luxembourg.

 

“We are delighted with these rankings.
