Our seven trading desks covering all established securities lending and borrowing markets allow us to provide in-depth knowledge of local market trends across multiple asset classes. BNP Paribas’ proven track record in the securities lending and borrowing industry is the result of strong trading expertise, robust risk management policy and control, as well as the continuous development of operational efficiencies. We are able to provide both agency and principal lending services and our agency lending capabilities are also available in third-party.
Furthermore, BNP Paribas offers a full suite of repo services including traditional repos, committed repo facilities and sustainable repos. We can answer your liquidity needs through efficient and customised (e.g. tenor, size…) programmes.
Since 2017, we also support our clients with our triparty collateral management services, providing advanced technology and seamless user experience. With this solution, we enable you to connect with a large community of banks, asset owners, asset managers, hedge funds and corporates to manage your collateral for repo, securities lending, uncleared derivatives and other activity generating counterparty risk. Our solution is fully integrated with the rest of the BNP Paribas ecosystem to ease the connection between collateral takers and collateral givers.
