BNP Paribas
Also a provider — view BNP Paribas’s profile →“Can BNP Paribas leverage its pan-European banking infrastructure and fintech partnerships to become the preferred embedded finance and corporate payments backbone for platforms and corporates across Europe?”
Founded via the 2000 merger of Banque Nationale de Paris and Paribas, BNP Paribas has evolved from a traditional universal bank into a diversified financial group offering retail, corporate, institutional, and insurance services across 65+ countries. The group has increasingly pursued an embedded finance and fintech partnership strategy — backing and co-developing products with fintechs like Hokodo (B2B BNPL), Billie (B2B payments), and Qover (insurance digitisation) — rather than building exclusively in-house. The CIB division operates a developer portal exposing PSD2 AISP/PISP APIs, positioning BNP Paribas as both an ASPSP and a payments infrastructure provider for third-party platforms.
