What makes us different
A collaborative client culture
We’re proud of the trust our clients place in us, and we’re relentlessly focused on helping them achieve their objectives.
Our clients range from governments and unions to corporations and other financial services firms. Every client has unique challenges and we help put their money to work by managing it, moving it and keeping it safe.
Advancing the future of finance
In 1789 our company made the first loan – $200,000 – to the fledgling U.S. Treasury after the Revolutionary War. In 1792 we became the first company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Since then, BNY Mellon has worked to create innovative financial solutions to help build a more resilient financial system.
Today we continue to advance the future of finance by providing leading data and analytics capabilities and paving the way in advancing real-time payments.
