BNP Paribas has signed a five-year partnership with Google Cloud that expands its access to Google Cloud infrastructure, Gemini models and Gemini Enterprise as it moves towards broader deployment of agentic AI, the company said on 24 September 2026.
The first use cases are in Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB), where the bank plans AI agents for targeted workflows such as preparing corporate credit memos, with further applications across sales, trading, research and structuring. Gemini models will also be integrated into LLM@CIB, the bank's generative AI assistant, which is available to more than 65,000 employees.
BNP Paribas said use of Google Cloud will follow its existing security and data governance requirements, which determine what data and workloads can be processed in a public cloud, and that the deal strengthens its multi-cloud and multi-model approach. Gemini already underpins Nickel Assist, used by 200 customer advisers at its Nickel payment account business.
“Agentic AI can help our teams handle more complex workflows while maintaining the appropriate level of control,” said Charles Holive, Chief AI Officer, BNP Paribas CIB.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
