Banque Nomura France

Banque Nomura France is the French presence of the Nomura group, focused on wholesale and investment banking rather than retail services. It serves corporates, financial institutions, and institutional investors through activities spanning fixed income and equities sales and trading, derivatives structuring and distribution, and corporate finance advisory. Operations are based in Paris and fall under the oversight of the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution (ACPR) and the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) for applicable prudential and market conduct requirements. The firm does not offer consumer banking products such as current accounts, payment cards, or personal loans, and access is generally limited to eligible counterparties and professional clients under MiFID II. Client onboarding and documentation align with group frameworks and standard market practices, including classifications under MiFID II, best execution and conflicts of interest policies, and use of ISDA/GMRA documentation where relevant. Pricing is negotiated bilaterally and depends on product, transaction size, liquidity, and counterparty profile rather than on public tariffs. Execution is provided via electronic platforms and voice channels, with post-trade processes conforming to market infrastructure and central clearing where applicable. Risk disclosures for structured products and derivatives are extensive, and transactions typically involve margining, collateral arrangements, and master agreements. Financial statements, Pillar 3 reports, and regulatory disclosures are accessible through group and French filings. The franchise is positioned to support institutional activity in France and to provide access to Nomura’s global distribution and balance sheet, not to deliver general-purpose retail banking.
