LONDON, May 10 (Reuters) - Bank of America (BAC.N) has hired former BNP Paribas banker Benoit Nevouet to be the manager of a newly created Luxembourg branch as the U.S. lender seeks to grow its business in Europe, a senior executive at Bank of America told Reuters. The opening of a branch in the small but wealthy country will mean Bank of America can help clients such as investment funds with local bank accounts and other services, said Matthew Davies, head of the U.S. lender's global transaction services unit for Europe, Middle East and Africa. Bank of America is first focused on bringing across existing clients which it served from a partner bank in Luxembourg to its new branch, Davies told Reuters. The U.S. bank is also hiring a dedicated money laundering reporting officer, as well as an initial handful of other support staff in functions such as compliance, risk and legal, to support the Luxembourg branch, Davies said. Bank of America's transaction services business accounts for some 10% of the lender's overall revenues, helping large multinational corporations with routine but vital products such as making payments and managing their cash.

Higher interest rates are putting more pressure on companies to free up cash from their operations, a cheaper option than relying on credit. PREVIEWRising financing costs are one of several factors pushing companies to improve how they manage working capital, alongside high inventory levels and persistent inflation. “The only difference now is that with your cost of capital being higher, sometimes the economics change, but we’re always looking at working capital,” he said. “Working capital management comes more in focus,” Mr. Fracassa said, as it costs more for companies to draw on their revolving lines of credit with today’s higher rates. “It was kind of the unique rebuild period for working capital,” Mr. Wells said.
