Accessibility declaration

BNP Paribas undertakes to make its internet, intranet and extranet sites and software packages accessible in accordance with Article 47 of Law no. 2005-102 of 11 February 2005.

Digital accessibility is a constant concern in the design and implementation stages of websites and mobile applications, which we make available to our customers and also to our employees.

This concern is reflected in the development and publication of a multi-year accessibility plan. Our policy on digital accessibility and the annual action plans for the compliance of the website and the associated mobile application with the RGAA are included.
