BNP Paribas Fortis — Belgia

BNP Paribas Fortis — Belgia

Kort historie og grunnleggelse

BNP Paribas Fortis er den viktigste belgiske bankdatterselskapet til den internasjonale BNP Paribas Group. Dens moderne identitet kan spores tilbake til Fortis-gruppen, som var en stor finansinstitusjon i Benelux. Under den globale finanskrisen 2008–2009 ble Fortis Banks belgiske virksomhet tatt under statlig beskyttelse og senere overtatt av BNP Paribas. Integrasjons- og rebrandingsprosessen som fulgte resulterte i dagens navn, BNP Paribas Fortis. Som en del av BNP Paribas Group kombinerer banken lokal markedsnærhet i Belgia med ressursene og det internasjonale nettverket til en stor europeisk bankgruppe.
