THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON SA/NV

The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV is the European banking subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, incorporated as a public limited liability company (société anonyme/naamloze vennootschap) in Belgium and headquartered in Brussels. It is authorized as a credit institution in the EU and focuses on asset servicing and related banking for institutional clients, including global and local custody, depositary functions for UCITS and AIFs, fund administration support, and cash and payment services linked to custody, with certain activities delivered in coordination with other BNY Mellon group entities. The firm operates through branches in multiple EU financial centers, including Luxembourg, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Germany, enabling cross-border services under the EU framework. It is subject to prudential and conduct oversight in Belgium by the National Bank of Belgium and the Financial Services and Markets Authority within the Single Supervisory Mechanism and is required to comply with EU capital, liquidity, recovery, and resolution rules (CRR/CRD and BRRD), with Pillar 3 and statutory disclosures published for transparency. As a Belgian bank, it participates in the Belgian deposit guarantee scheme that covers up to EUR 100,000 per eligible depositor, though its business model is oriented toward professional and institutional clients rather than retail deposit-taking. The operating model relies on group technology platforms, sub-custodian networks, and certain outsourced arrangements typical of the securities services sector, subject to risk, compliance, and information security controls. Prospective clients should review jurisdictional coverage, service-level terms, and the division of responsibilities between the SA/NV, its branches, and affiliated BNY Mellon entities, as well as the most recent regulatory disclosures on capital, liquidity metrics, and governance.
