BNP Paribas SS gets banking licence
BNP Paribas Securities Services has been granted a banking licence in Australia, allowing it to increase its custody offering, as well as introduce third party clearing services.
Head of BNP Paribas Securities Services in Australia and New Zealand, Pierre Jond, said being able to change the company’s DNA and implement its global clearing and custody solutions would offer much potential to local clients.
“Not only does this development enable us to enhance our current offering, it will also support the inbound investment of overseas investors in Australia and New Zealand,” Jond said.
This comes as BNP Paribas Securities Services has changed its legal status so that BNP Paribas Group will assume unlimited liability for the debts of the firm to reinforce its safety and security.

A major super fund has defended its use of private markets in a submission to ASIC, asserting that appropriate governance and information-sharing practices are present in both public and private markets.
A member body representing some prominent wealth managers is concerned super funds’ dominance is sidelining small companies in capital markets.
Earlier this month, several Australian superannuation funds fell victim to credential stuffing attacks, which saw a small number of members lose more than $500,000.
Small- to medium-sized funds have become collateral damage in an "imperfect" model for super industry levies, a financial institution has said.
