Founders & story · from BNY Mellon’s own dossier

Founded in 1784 as the Bank of New York, the institution evolved through centuries of banking history before the landmark 2007 merger with Mellon Financial created BNY Mellon, one of the world's largest custody banks with over $40 trillion in assets under custody. The company has progressively layered embedded finance infrastructure on top of its core custody and clearing business — launching BaaS solutions, open banking products (Bankify/Trustly), cross-border payments (SmartPay Global), and partnering with fintechs like Vestwell for retirement and Xceptor for tax processing. BNY is now positioning itself as both a direct financial services provider and an infrastructure partner for fintechs and enterprises seeking bank-grade rails.
