BNP Paribas Securities Services S.K.A. Oddział w Polsce

BNP Paribas Securities Services S.K.A. Oddział w Polsce is the Polish branch of BNP Paribas Securities Services, operating as an institutional post-trade service provider for professional clients rather than retail customers. The branch offers custody and safekeeping of domestic and cross-border securities, trade settlement, cash and collateral management, corporate actions processing, proxy voting, tax relief and reclaim services, fund depositary and trustee functions for Polish investment funds, fund accounting and valuation, and transfer agency where mandated, alongside optional middle-office outsourcing, foreign exchange, and securities lending subject to eligibility and client documentation. It serves asset managers, investment and pension funds, insurers, banks, broker-dealers, and public-sector entities, and participates in Polish market infrastructures as required for settlement and depository activities while relying on the group’s global sub-custodian network for other markets. As an EU bank branch, it operates under the home authorization of the French regulator with local supervision in Poland for branch activities, applying EU and local rules relevant to custody, UCITS/AIF depositary roles, and settlement discipline. Onboarding typically entails KYC/AML checks, account-opening documentation, and technical setup; connectivity options include SWIFT and other reporting channels, with cut-off times aligned to the Polish market. Fees are negotiated bilaterally and vary by scope, volumes, and asset mix; minimum activity thresholds may apply, and pricing transparency is limited to contractual terms rather than public schedules. The entity is distinct from BNP Paribas Bank Polska S.A. and does not provide consumer banking; cash and custody arrangements are governed by frameworks designed for professional clients, and protections differ from retail deposit regimes. Public regulatory and corporate disclosures are available through the group’s website and relevant supervisory registers, and service levels and operating procedures are formalized in client agreements and SLAs.
