Risk Management & Credit Counterparty

As a leading European bank and a prominent global institution, BNP Paribas’ strong credit ratings provide our clients with confidence in all market conditions. The FXPB platform has long-standing robust risk management capabilities with multiple margin methodologies to appropriately support different trading strategies, including cross-margining capabilities.

With a deep understanding of the platform costs and operations requirements, BNP Paribas has a stable, sustainable and growing FXPB franchise. We help drive industry conversations across the FXPB ecosystem, particularly on systemic topics such as the ‘over-allocation’ of credit lines and ‘dry powder’ risk.

Technology & Reporting

Operating independently of 3^rd party providers, BNP Paribas’ proprietary technology offers maximum flexibility to clients with our integration solutions including Financial Information eXchange (FIX) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) integrations.

‘Infinity’ is BNP Paribas’ front-to-back system which includes end-to-end matching engine, trade booking, real-time risk management, with a full reporting suite which is proprietarily developed in-house by BNP Paribas. It provides enhanced flexibility compared with a 3^rd party vendor approach, enabling special integration and bespoke functionality for clients.

‘DataDirect’ provides a full suite of end-of-day and intraday (real time) reports for positions, credit, trades and margin. It offers position rolls and closeouts via BNP Paribas’ online portal.
