Europe’s Banking Giant BNP Paribas Secures Operations in Megaworld’s Uptown Bonifacio
BNP Paribas, a Fortune Global 500 banking institution based in Paris, France, is officially establishing its Philippine delivery center in Uptown Bonifacio. This move positions the global financial titan alongside other leading multinational corporations in property giant Megaworld’s flagship township in Taguig City.
The entity, operating as BNP Paribas Solutions Philippines, will occupy dedicated office space inside Uptown Eastgate—currently the largest office tower by gross leasable area (GLA) in Bonifacio Global City (BGC).
A Strategic Global Delivery Center in Manila
The new BGC facility will serve as a crucial delivery hub, driving BNP Paribas’ global shared services for its Corporate and Institutional Banking business worldwide.
Ranked No. 58 on the Fortune Global 500 list and holding over USD 3.2 trillion in managed assets, BNP Paribas stands as the world’s 7th largest bank. With a global workforce exceeding 180,000 employees across 64 countries, its expansion into Megaworld’s township portfolio highlights Manila’s rising status as a world-class financial services center.
“BNP Paribas’ arrival in Uptown Bonifacio reflects the confidence of global companies in the township as a strategic location for their operations. Master-planned business districts within Megaworld townships provide access to talent, connectivity, mobility, and amenities that support productivity and employee experience. This gives companies the advantage of operating in a complete environment designed around both business and people.”— Francis Roxas, Head of Megaworld Global Offices
