BNY Mellon Expands Digital Ecosystem and Capabilities by Collaborating with Four Best-in-Class Platform Providers

NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation ("BNY Mellon") today announced several new partnerships as it continues to execute its digital strategy to better serve clients' increasingly complex needs. BNY Mellon remains dedicated to broadening the scope of its digital ecosystem both by actively advancing its own solutions as well as seeking opportunities to collaborate with best-in-class external partners. As part of these efforts, BNY Mellon will work with EZOPS and Kingfield to leverage machine learning and AI for greater operational efficiency, while Caissa and Two Sigma will help provide enhanced risk solutions and transparency for its clients.

"We are very pleased to be working with these innovative companies as part of our ongoing efforts to build an innovation network and digital ecosystem that enables BNY Mellon to provide enhanced value for our clients," said Roman Regelman, BNY Mellon Head of Digital. "We are open to the world, engaging with fintechs, venture capitalists, bigtech, incubators, universities, clients and even competitors. This enables us to accelerate delivery of new and enhanced capabilities by leveraging existing solutions, building partnerships and making investments in strategic companies."

Improving Operational Efficiency: BNY Mellon is leveraging capabilities developed by EZOPS and Kingfield to improve operational efficiency and enhance the client experience.

    --  EZOPS - In collaboration with EZOPS, BNY Mellon has launched an
        artificial intelligence-based reconciliation and data control solution
        aimed at better serving our clients' complex data needs.  BNY Mellon has
        already implemented the solution in our Alternative Investment Services
        business and the firm is expanding the capabilities across other lines
        of business. Clients will be able to access the new capabilities through
        our portal once development is complete. These new capabilities will
        increase automation, provide insights and offer self-service
        capabilities as part of our broader digital strategy to enhance clients'
        experience.
    --  Kingfield - Kingfield is developing a platform that will enable clients
        and custodians to streamline client service inquiries through a
        standardized network to eliminate inefficiencies and the need for
        bespoke communication channels. The result will be a simplified client
        messaging approach across the marketplace. Today, Kingfield is working
        with a number of banks and asset managers to standardize workflow
        protocols. Together, they have created message standards and common
        workflow protocols that will implement these procedural changes down to
        the customer level. The end result will be an improved client experience
        as well as a standardized query mechanism that can effectively reduce
        the cost of client support organizations. BNY Mellon has an equity
        interest in Kingfield.

Enhancing Risk Analytics Solutions: By working with Caissa and Two Sigma, BNY Mellon is expanding the risk solutions it offers to institutional clients.

    --  Caissa - Our institutional clients are seeking sophisticated solutions
        that allow them to leverage their data to improve investment decisions
        while obtaining a single view across their multi-asset portfolio. By
        integrating Caissa, a pan-asset class reporting and analytics platform,
        BNY Mellon's performance and risk solutions have expanded to further
        accommodate flexible risk and performance analytics, attribution,
        portfolio transparency and liquidity analysis. BNY Mellon clients will
        have the ability to perform their own analysis and reporting through the
        Caissa platform, powered by their accounting and performance data at BNY
        Mellon.
    --  Two Sigma - BNY Mellon is integrated with Two Sigma's Venn product, a
        portfolio risk tool for asset owners, to deliver BNY Mellon client data
        to Venn's quantitatively driven portfolio analysis and optimization
        capabilities. This integration will reduce the upfront and ongoing data
        integration effort for BNY Mellon clients that use the Venn product. The
        collaboration combines BNY Mellon's ability to perform robust
        performance calculations and to provide easy access to an integrated
        data environment with Two Sigma's risk factor research and portfolio
        optimization software in Venn. Mutual asset owner clients will be able
        to efficiently pull their BNY Mellon data directly into Venn to perform
        risk and return analysis in portfolio construction and to evaluate fund
        managers.
