Track record

Action taken against them

1 fine in 2015, £126m in total. This is part of the official register record and is worth reviewing before going ahead.

  • Fined £126m on 15 April 2015
    On 14 April 2015, the Financial Conduct Authority (“the Authority”) imposed on The Bank of New York Mellon London Branch (“BNYMLB”) and The Bank of New York Mellon (International) Limited (“BNYMIL”) (“the Firms”) a financial penalty of £126,000,000 (discounted from £180,000,000 for early settlement) in respect of breaches of Principle 10 and certain rules in Chapter 6 of the Client Assets Sourcebook (“Custody Rules, or CASS”). The Authority found that in the period between 1 November 2007 and 12 August 2013 the Firms failed to implement adequate organisational arrangements for safeguarding client assets by maintaining records and accounts on a global, rather than entity-specific. This failing meant that the Firms were unable to meet their other obligations under the Custody Rules. A copy of the Final Notice is displayed on the FCA’s website .
