About The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Amsterdam Branch

The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Amsterdam Branch is the Dutch branch of BNY Mellon’s EU banking entity incorporated in Belgium, providing institutional banking and securities services to asset managers, pension funds, insurers, banks, and corporates in the Netherlands and the wider European market. Operating under the European passport of a Belgian credit institution, it is subject to prudential supervision by the European Central Bank and the National Bank of Belgium, with host-state oversight in the Netherlands by De Nederlandsche Bank and conduct supervision by the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets where relevant. The branch’s activities focus on asset servicing and related functions rather than retail banking, including global and domestic custody, fund administration support, depositary services for UCITS and AIFs, cash and liquidity services, foreign exchange, collateral management and securities lending (as permitted), corporate trust and issuer-related solutions, and connectivity to BNY Mellon’s technology platforms for settlement, reporting, and data. It does not operate a consumer-facing model, does not offer walk-in services, and onboarding is documentation-driven and subject to standard KYC/AML, sanctions, and regulatory requirements. Fees and service levels are typically bespoke and set by contract. As a branch of a Belgian bank, eligible deposits (where applicable) are covered by the Belgian deposit guarantee scheme rather than the Dutch scheme, noting that most relationships are institutional and may fall outside retail guarantee parameters. The Amsterdam presence supports Dutch-domiciled funds and local market practices while relying on the parent entity’s European infrastructure, which can provide scale and cross-border reach but also means governance, systems, and certain decisioning sit with the head office. Prospective clients should assess service scope, reporting formats, collateral and settlement workflows, and legal terms at the SA/NV level, as product availability and regulatory permissions can vary by client type and jurisdiction.
