Paris - Apprenticeship - Corporate Banking - Transaction Banking 2.0 EMEA

Context:

Transaction Banking (flow banking) is one of the key areas of CIB, and largely considered as the “entry point” into the Group for Large Corporates. This area of CIB includes 5 main business lines: cash management, trade finance (including Commodity finance), supply chain management (inventory financing), corporate deposit line and Correspondent Banking. These business lines aim to assist clients in optimising their working capital needs. Transaction Banking teams mainly interface with companies’ treasurers and/or treasury departments.

Transaction Banking 2.0 is in charge of “preparing for the flow banking of tomorrow”. The mission of TB 2.0 is to handle the future of Transaction Banking, and provide the tools and the environment to the various TB teams for developing innovative solutions to evolving client needs, and take concrete actions for a new business model. In this context, TB 2.0 works with both Transaction Banking EMEA management and teams (TB’s 4 business lines are spread in 15+ geographies in the EMEA region, ca. 250 persons). TB 2.0 offers an outsider’s view on current business practices, current processes, as well as on technological developments which can impact Transaction Banking services (big/smart data, digitalization, blockchain technology, robotics etc.), to allow for reconsideration of current work models and for their evolution.

TB 2.0 is a connector (between teams, with IT, with other business lines and functions within BNPP and with the outside world insofar as it relates to flow banking, to new offers of financial services or a new way of working), a driver of initiatives, a catalyst of change.
