BNY Mellon to Launch European Securities Depository

January 8, 2013

[ by Howard Haykin ]


Bank of New York Mellon received regulatory approval to establish a central securities depository in Europe, the company announced in a press release. The CSD, to be headquartered in Belgium, will consolidate the bank's depository operations on the continent.  Although the company already provides such services for Europe-based clients, it does so on an individual basis to various markets. 

BNY Mellon veteran executive, Chris Prior-Willeard, will serve as CEO of the new unit.  Mr. Prior-Willeard said that BNY Mellon was "responding to the current regulatory imperatives around issuance and settlement services" by the opening of the CSD.    [ Motley Fool, via Daily Finance, 1/7/13 ]
