National Bank for Trade and Industry (French: Banque nationale pour le commerce et l'industrie) or BNCI was one of four banks that combined to form Banque Nationale de Paris. BNCI was created on the 18 April 1932 replacing Banque nationale de crédit (BNC) which failed as a result of the 1930s recession. The former bank's headquarters and staff were used to create BNCI with fresh capital of 100 million francs. It was nationalised by the French government together with the other major banks in 1945 and merged with Comptoir national d'escompte de Paris to create Banque Nationale de Paris (BNP) in 1966.
