BNP Paribas Securities Services globalises its broker-dealer tri-party settlement agency solution

BNP Paribas Securities Services, already a major provider of tri-party settlement agency from United Kingdom, is now offering tri-party settlement for over 100 markets from its Paris based office. Tri-party settlement agency enables BNP Paribas Securities Services' customers to outsource their full post-trade processes by giving up their executed agency transactions to BNP Paribas Securities Services.
This solution gives brokers access to BNP Paribas Securities Services' strong clearing and settlement platforms.

Philippe Ruault, Head of product management, clearing settlement and custody, explains that "BNP Paribas Securities Services is keen to expand its tri-party settlement agency capability to new locations, close to clients and their legal environment, while leveraging global platforms and expertise.”
