In June 2001, BNP Paribas joined with five of the world's largest financial establishments to create the premiere world alliance of automatic teller machines (ATMs), named "Global Alliance". Since 2002, the six establishments comprising the Alliance - BNP Paribas, Barclays, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, Scotiabank and Westpac - have offered BNP Paribas' customers the ability to access the automatic teller machines of its partner's across four continents, completely free.
