Embargoes, updated list of parties and countries.
International payments
BNP Paribas Fortis, in connection with its legal obligations and reputation risk management, takes account of national and international financial sanctions, specifically European regulations and American sanctions, targeting various persons, entities, as well as countries throughout the world to date. Any transaction which directly or indirectly concerns a party or country that is subject to sanctions is stopped by our computer systems and flagged for approval. Some transactions may be refused, either because the bank is not entitled to process them or does not wish to, or else because the information provided is not complete.
