As part of its CIB 2020 development plan BNP Paribas is launching a strategic growth plan for the Hispanic Latin America Territory with strong ambitions in Mexico. Part of this plan involves expanding existing business lines, introducing new activities and the creation of a bank in Mexico. This appointment is a critical role in achieving the bank’s regional and global ambitions and will enable BNP Paribas to expand its local offering and client franchise.

As a critical part of the Americas region, the Bank’s investment in Hispanic Latin America is an exciting opportunity. Lincoln Payton, Head of Hispanic LatAm, stated: “Hispanic Latin America is a crucial component in the combined Americas Region. BNP Paribas enjoys a strong reputation here, notably in Colombia and the Southern Cone. Our plans for Mexico to enhance client interactions and to further build-out our product capabilities with the creation of a bank are very exciting. This will also bring economic and cultural connectivity to the global BNP Paribas network, especially EMEA.”
