The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY Mellon) is a New York-based financial services platform built around custody, asset servicing, payments, clearing, and investment management. Founded in 1784, it operates through three main segments: Securities Services, Market and Wealth Services, and Investment and Wealth Management, with an additional Other segment for treasury and corporate activities. The company is especially large in institutional asset servicing, with $59.3 trillion of assets under custody and/or administration and $2.2 trillion of assets under management as of Dec. 31, 2025. Its business model is centered on servicing financial institutions, asset managers, corporations, governments, and wealthy clients rather than taking traditional consumer banking deposits and loans as the core engine. BNY also runs banking subsidiaries in the U.S. and Europe that support global custody, collateral management, and related cross-border services.
