The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation
A financial services company that safeguards and manages trillions in assets for institutions, governments, and corporations worldwide, offering custody, asset management, and payment services. Founded in 1784 by Alexander Hamilton, it is the oldest bank in the United States, and took its current form in 2007 when The Bank of New York merged with Mellon Financial Corporation. Its name pairs the two founding institutions, and its roots trace back to the very first bank established in the young nation.
