A reward that reflects our strong commitment to financial inclusion

The Group runs numerous initiatives to foster the financial and social inclusion of the most vulnerable members of society. This long-standing commitment to a fairer, more inclusive economy is included in the GTS 2025 strategic plan. BNP Paribas works in close collaboration with local communities to facilitate their economic, social and cultural development. We achieve this through accompanying vulnerable clients, supporting microfinance institutions on four continents over the past 35 years, and through our corporate philanthropy programmes, which are supported by long-standing relationships with committed local partners.

“Corporate citizenship in the service of a more just and inclusive world is at the core of BNP Paribas’ purpose. From microfinance to impact funds, bonds and investments, to Nickel and its no-minimum income bank account, our teams are dedicated to providing financial services to as many people as possible around the world. We are honoured by this "Best Bank for Financial Inclusion" award which is presented in recognition of their efforts.”
