*Part of the [BNP Paribas SA AI strategy profile](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/banks/bnp-paribas). Peer group: Société Générale, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Barclays PLC, Banco Santander, ING Groep N.V., BBVA, UBS Group AG, JPMorgan Chase.*

## How does BNP Paribas SA compare with its peers on AI and technology?

BNP Paribas scores 72 on this site's AI disclosure reference score, #43 of 140 banks and eighth in its 10-bank peer group: behind HSBC (88.5), JPMorgan Chase (87.5), Deutsche Bank (78.9), BBVA (77.2), UBS (76.5) and Barclays (76), level with Société Générale (72.7) and Santander (71.3), and ahead of ING (65.2). The score measures what is on the record, not capability; BNP ranks second in the group on use cases in production and last on named AI leaders. Three things separate it from named peers. First, it puts a number on AI: management said on 5 February 2026 that AI had delivered about EUR 600 million of value to date against EUR 750 million targeted by the end of 2026, while HSBC publishes no figure and Santander reported EUR 84 million for the first half of 2026. Second, European models at depth: Mistral AI has been a partner since 2023 and was renewed for three years on 26 May 2026, BNP was one of seven banks lending to Mistral's US$830 million data-centre financing, and a five-year Google Cloud deal followed on 24 September 2026; HSBC is the only other peer with a Mistral deal on the record. Third, platform reach: 100,000 people onboarded to its 'My companion' Group AI platform and more than 65,000 with LLM@CIB. Where it trails: no chief AI officer, while UBS (January 2026) and HSBC (April 2026) appointed one and BBVA created a top-level AI Transformation area (May 2026); and Evident's 2026 index ranked BBVA first among eurozone banks.

## Where does BNP Paribas lead its peers on AI?

- **An AI value figure with a target date.** BNP's management said on its fourth-quarter 2025 call that AI had delivered about EUR 600 million of value to date, against EUR 750 million targeted by end-2026. HSBC and Barclays publish no AI value figure; Santander reported EUR 84 million in the first half of 2026 toward more than EUR 1 billion a year by 2028. ([Investing.com](https://uk.investing.com/news/transcripts/earnings-call-transcript-bnp-paribas-q4-2025-earnings-beat-expectations-93CH-4491182), [BNP Paribas](https://integrated-report.bnpparibas/2025/article/49), [Banco Santander](https://santander.com/content/dam/santander-com/en/documentos/informacion-privilegiada/2026/07/hr-2026-07-22-second-quarter-2026-results-press-release-en.pdf), [Banco Santander](https://santander.com/en/press-room/press-releases/2026/02/2026-santander-investor-day))
- **The deepest Mistral AI relationship among peers.** BNP invested in Mistral's December 2023 round, signed a group-wide contract in July 2024, renewed it for three years on 26 May 2026 and lent to Mistral's US$830 million data-centre financing (March 2026). HSBC's December 2025 Mistral deal covers self-hosted model access; the other peers name US model providers. ([BNP Paribas](https://group.bnpparibas/en/press-release/bnp-paribas-and-mistral-ai-extend-their-partnership-to-support-the-next-phase-of-generative-ai-deployment-within-the-group), [CNBC](https://cnbc.com/2026/03/30/mistral-ai-paris-data-center-cluster-debt-financing.html), [HSBC Holdings plc](https://hsbc.com/-/files/hsbc/media/media-release/2025/251201-hsbc-and-mistral-ai-join-forces-to-accelerate-ai-adoption-across-global-bank.pdf))
- **Second in the group on use cases in production.** On this site's index BNP ranks second of 10 on use cases in production, behind Barclays. Named deployments include LLM@CIB for more than 65,000 employees, HelloïZ for more than one million Hello bank! clients since January 2026 and document AI on about 80% of mortgage files, saving about 30 minutes each. ([BNP Paribas](https://group.bnpparibas/en/press-release/bnp-paribas-and-google-cloud-announce-new-partnership-on-agentic-ai-and-cloud-innovation), [BNP Paribas](https://group.bnpparibas/en/press-release/bnp-paribas-and-mistral-ai-extend-their-partnership-to-support-the-next-phase-of-generative-ai-deployment-within-the-group), [BNP Paribas](https://group.bnpparibas/en/news/ai-at-bnp-paribas-3-using-artificial-intelligence-to-speed-up-granting-of-mortgage-loans))
- **Training at scale.** Nearly 80,000 BNP Paribas employees received AI-related training in 2025 and more than 30,000 completed the Introduction to GenAI module. Santander reports about 35,000 employees trained from 2025 to April 2026; BBVA says more than 105,000 took its Gemini course.

## Where does BNP Paribas trail its peers on AI?

- **No named AI chief, last in the group on AI leaders.** BNP ranks tenth of 10 in the peer group on named AI leaders; the CEO chairs a Group AI Strategy Committee. UBS appointed Daniele Magazzeni chief AI officer from 1 January 2026, HSBC named David Rice from 1 April 2026, and BBVA created a top-level AI Transformation area under Antonio Bravo on 28 May 2026. ([Investing.com](https://investing.com/news/transcripts/earnings-call-transcript-bnp-paribas-posts-strong-q2-2026-growth-93CH-4809058), [UBS Group AG](https://www.ubs.com/global/en/media/display-page-ndp/en-20251016-ai-strategy.html), [HSBC Holdings plc](https://hsbc.com/-/files/hsbc/media/media-release/2026/260323-david-rice-announced-as-chief-ai-officer.pdf), [BBVA](https://bbva.com/en/innovation/bbva-accelerates-its-artificial-intelligence-strategy-with-a-global-area-ai-transformation))
- **Use cases counted two ways.** BNP's Group FAQ says more than 800 AI use cases are in place, while its Group CTO said on 20 May 2026 that nearly 1,000 are underway. BBVA publishes a single production count on its own page, 1,127 use cases in production (July 2026), and UBS reports 560 live use cases each quarter. ([BNP Paribas](https://group.bnpparibas/en/group/about-us/frequently-asked-questions/faq-tech-artificial-intelligence), [SiliconANGLE](https://siliconangle.com/2026/05/20/hybrid-ai-governance-now-critical-european-banking-ibmthink), [BBVA](https://bbva.com/en/innovation/data-innovation), [UBS Group AG and UBS AG (Business Wire)](https://businesswire.com/news/home/20260728010217/en/UBS-AG-UK-Regulatory-Announcement-UBS-reports-2Q26-net-profit-of-USD-2.8bn-and-USD-5.8bn-for-1H26-with-robust-momentum-across-businesses-Group-invested-assets-at-USD-7.3trn-Ad-hoc-announcement-pursuant-to-Article-53-of-the-SIX-Exchange-Regulation-Listing-Rules))
- **No developer-AI scale figure.** BNP's CTO said in May 2026 that GitHub Copilot and Cursor were being evaluated in parallel to avoid vendor lock-in; no developer count or productivity figure is on the record. Deutsche Bank reports more than 15,000 developers on coding assistants, Santander says AI writes 40% of its code, and BBVA reports a 28% developer productivity gain. ([SiliconANGLE](https://siliconangle.com/2026/05/20/hybrid-ai-governance-now-critical-european-banking-ibmthink), [Deutsche Bank](https://www.db.com/news/detail/20260714-how-ai-is-reshaping-the-software-behind-everyday-banking?language_id=1), [Banco Santander](https://santander.com/en/stories/santander-turns-its-ai-first-strategy-into-measurable-impact-and-extends-ai-access-to-all-185000-employees), [BBVA](https://www.bbva.com/en/innovation/bbva-creates-a-model-to-scale-ai-across-the-group-and-drive-its-customer-centric-transformation/))

## Where does BNP Paribas rank against its peers on AI disclosure?

Scores from reference score: the AI-index formula applied to all 140 profiles (0–100; 45% of the weight on independent coverage). The index measures what each bank has put on the public record and what outside outlets have reported about its AI, not capability or spending; every count is of entries on that bank's profile, each of which cites its sources.

## How many employees use AI tools at BNP Paribas compared with its peers?

Each bank's own figure. Definitions differ (onboarded, with access, active), so compare the wording as well as the number.

| Bank | Tool | Reach as disclosed | As of |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| BNP Paribas | 'My companion' Group AI platform; LLM@CIB | 100,000 onboarded; more than 65,000 with LLM@CIB access | July-September 2026 ([BNP Paribas](https://invest.bnpparibas/document/2q26-slides), [BNP Paribas](https://group.bnpparibas/en/press-release/bnp-paribas-and-google-cloud-announce-new-partnership-on-agentic-ai-and-cloud-innovation)) |

## How does BNP Paribas govern AI compared with its peers?

BNP Paribas governs AI through committees rather than a named officer. Its 2025 Universal Registration Document describes a Group AI Committee that approves the AI strategy and evaluates use cases against risk assessments, and an AI Risk Committee that monitors AI Act compliance and model attestation; CEO Jean-Laurent Bonnafé said on 23 July 2026 that he chairs the Group AI Strategy Committee, with return on investment, cost control and cyber risk at the heart of the approach. Nearly 80,000 employees received AI-related training in 2025. ([BNP Paribas](https://invest.bnpparibas/en/document/universal-registration-document-annual-financial-report-2025-pdf), [Investing.com](https://investing.com/news/transcripts/earnings-call-transcript-bnp-paribas-posts-strong-q2-2026-growth-93CH-4809058), [BNP Paribas](https://group.bnpparibas/en/news/responsible-ai-at-bnp-paribas-innovating-with-purpose-and-confidence))

Peers have moved to named owners. UBS set up a Chief AI Office under Daniele Magazzeni from 1 January 2026 in a hub-and-spoke model; HSBC appointed David Rice group chief AI officer from 1 April 2026; BBVA created a top-level AI Transformation area under Antonio Bravo in May 2026 to cut agent development from months to weeks. ING set up a central AI Risk Committee in 2025 to oversee voicebots and agentic AI, the closest in design to BNP's committee model. ([UBS Group AG](https://www.ubs.com/global/en/media/display-page-ndp/en-20251016-ai-strategy.html), [UBS Group AG](https://www.ubs.com/global/en/our-firm/what-we-do/technology/innovation-and-ai.html), [HSBC Holdings plc](https://hsbc.com/-/files/hsbc/media/media-release/2026/260323-david-rice-announced-as-chief-ai-officer.pdf), [BBVA](https://bbva.com/en/innovation/bbva-accelerates-its-artificial-intelligence-strategy-with-a-global-area-ai-transformation), [ING Groep N.V. (SEC filing)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001039765/000162828026011979/ing-20251231.htm))

## Which banks are BNP Paribas's peers, and why these?

BNP Paribas SA is compared here with Société Générale, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Barclays PLC, Banco Santander, ING Groep N.V., BBVA, UBS Group AG and JPMorgan Chase: chosen by the editors for this page (see the note below the table). BNP Paribas SA is classed as a universal bank headquartered in France.

The computed group included MUFG and RBC, whose home markets BNP Paribas does not serve, so this page swaps them for the euro-area retail banks it meets in Belgium, Germany and consumer finance (ING, BBVA) and for JPMorgan Chase, which ranks ahead of it in EMEA investment banking fees.

## Common questions

### Is BNP Paribas better than Société Générale at AI?

The record cannot settle capability, and on disclosure the two are close: Société Générale scores 72.7 on this site's reference score and BNP Paribas 72. BNP reports about EUR 600 million of AI value to date; Société Générale sizes EUR 500 million to EUR 600 million of AI cost savings in its 2029 plan and signed with Anthropic in September 2026. ([Investing.com](https://uk.investing.com/news/transcripts/earnings-call-transcript-bnp-paribas-q4-2025-earnings-beat-expectations-93CH-4491182), [Societe Generale](https://www.societegenerale.com/sites/default/files/documents/2026-09/capital-markets-day-press-release.pdf), [Societe Generale](https://www.societegenerale.com/sites/default/files/documents/2026-09/capital-markets-day-presentation.pdf))

### Does BNP Paribas use Mistral AI or Google?

Both. BNP Paribas has worked with Mistral AI since 2023, invested in its December 2023 funding round and renewed the partnership for three years in May 2026; on 24 September 2026 it signed a five-year Google Cloud partnership for Gemini Enterprise and Gemini models, starting with agents for corporate credit memos. ([BNP Paribas](https://group.bnpparibas/en/press-release/bnp-paribas-and-mistral-ai-extend-their-partnership-to-support-the-next-phase-of-generative-ai-deployment-within-the-group), [BNP Paribas](https://group.bnpparibas/en/press-release/bnp-paribas-and-google-cloud-announce-new-partnership-on-agentic-ai-and-cloud-innovation))

### How much value does BNP Paribas get from AI compared with Santander?

BNP Paribas says AI delivered about EUR 600 million of value to date by early 2026 and targets EUR 750 million by the end of 2026. Santander reported EUR 84 million in the first half of 2026, expects more than EUR 200 million for the year and targets more than EUR 1 billion a year by 2028. ([Investing.com](https://uk.investing.com/news/transcripts/earnings-call-transcript-bnp-paribas-q4-2025-earnings-beat-expectations-93CH-4491182), [BNP Paribas](https://integrated-report.bnpparibas/2025/article/49), [Banco Santander](https://santander.com/content/dam/santander-com/en/documentos/informacion-privilegiada/2026/07/hr-2026-07-22-second-quarter-2026-results-press-release-en.pdf), [Banco Santander](https://santander.com/en/stories/santander-turns-its-ai-first-strategy-into-measurable-impact-and-extends-ai-access-to-all-185000-employees), [Banco Santander](https://santander.com/en/press-room/press-releases/2026/02/2026-santander-investor-day))

### Which European bank leads on AI: BNP Paribas, BBVA or HSBC?

On this site's reference score HSBC is highest (88.5), then BBVA (77.2) and BNP Paribas (72). Evident's 2026 AI Index put BBVA first among eurozone banks and third in Europe. Neither measure tests capability; both reward what each bank has put on the record. ([BBVA](https://bbva.com/en/innovation/bbva-ranks-first-among-eurozone-banks-for-its-ai-strategy-according-to-evident))

### Does BNP Paribas have a chief AI officer?

No named chief AI officer is on the record. CEO Jean-Laurent Bonnafé chairs the Group AI Strategy Committee, and the 2025 Universal Registration Document describes a Group AI Committee and an AI Risk Committee. UBS and HSBC each appointed a chief AI officer in 2026. ([Investing.com](https://investing.com/news/transcripts/earnings-call-transcript-bnp-paribas-posts-strong-q2-2026-growth-93CH-4809058), [BNP Paribas](https://invest.bnpparibas/en/document/universal-registration-document-annual-financial-report-2025-pdf), [UBS Group AG](https://www.ubs.com/global/en/media/display-page-ndp/en-20251016-ai-strategy.html), [HSBC Holdings plc](https://hsbc.com/-/files/hsbc/media/media-release/2026/260323-david-rice-announced-as-chief-ai-officer.pdf))

### How many BNP Paribas employees use AI compared with BBVA?

BNP Paribas says 100,000 people have been onboarded to its 'My companion' Group AI platform (second-quarter 2026) and that LLM@CIB is available to more than 65,000 employees. BBVA reports about 100,000 employees using ChatGPT Enterprise, with more than 70% weekly active and about three hours saved per person per week. ([BNP Paribas](https://invest.bnpparibas/document/2q26-slides), [BNP Paribas](https://group.bnpparibas/en/press-release/bnp-paribas-and-google-cloud-announce-new-partnership-on-agentic-ai-and-cloud-innovation), [OpenAI](https://openai.com/index/bbva/))

### Why is BNP Paribas compared with JPMorgan?

They meet in corporate and investment banking. LSEG data reported by Reuters ranked JPMorgan second and BNP Paribas third in EMEA investment banking fees in 2025, behind Goldman Sachs, and BNP's Universal Registration Document benchmarks its rankings against JPMorgan and other Coalition Index banks. ([Reuters](https://reuters.com/legal/transactional/european-investment-banks-fail-capitalise-trump-tariff-turmoil-2025-12-22), [BNP Paribas](https://invest.bnpparibas/en/document/universal-registration-document-annual-financial-report-2025-pdf))
