Bank for International Settlements

The BIS fulfils this mandate by acting as:
- a forum to promote discussion and policy analysis among central banks and within the international financial community,
- a prime counterparty for central banks in their financial transactions,
- agent or trustee in connection with international financial operations.
As its customers are central banks and international organisations, the BIS does not accept deposits from, or provide financial services to, private individuals or corporate entities. The BIS strongly advises caution against fraudulent schemes.
