BNP Paribas in IsraelOverviewSince receiving a full-fledged banking license from the Bank of Israel in April 2006, BNP Paribas opened its branch in Tel Aviv on November 15, 2006.
The group has operated in Israel since October 1996 and later, through a highly active Representative Office, carving out a position as a recognized player in the local market for Institutional activities, Corporate Banking and Export Finance. BNP Paribas has now taken another step forward.
The Branch is organized around the following service centers: Corporate and Investment Banking, Trade Center and a Treasury platform. BNP Paribas Israel also relies on the group's global network to support major Israeli corporations in developing their international business activities, and to facilitate access to the local market for international clients.
