LONDON, Jan. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- BNY Mellon, a global leader in investment management and investment services, has been named best trade outsourcing bank by Global Trade Review ("GTR") for the sixth consecutive year.

GTR's Leaders in Trade 2014 Awards polled its extensive database of financial institutions and corporates. These voters, which included companies engaged in cross-border trade activities, were asked to rate the best international financial institutions.

"Trade outsourcing is a core strategic business for BNY Mellon," said Vince Galloni, Global Head of Trade Processing, Treasury Services at BNY Mellon. "This award affirms our operational excellence in serving our clients, and is a testament to the expertise and collaboration of our technology, product and operations teams."

"Our recent trade processing partnership with Helaba and the G25 German Sparkassen is a great example of the importance of trade outsourcing to our client banks and the businesses they support," adds Ian K. Stewart, Chief Executive Officer of BNY Mellon's Treasury Services business. "BNY Mellon's role as an entry point for small and medium sized German businesses to trade with the Asia-Pacific region shows how we can leverage our capabilities, experience and global network of correspondent financial institutions, to support clients in other European Union countries and beyond."

BNY Mellon has three global trade processing centres which provide seamless, end-to-end management of transactional details, processing issues and critical trade information on a 'follow-the-sun' basis. These centres meet the trade service needs of clients while also helping them to control the increasing cost of staffing and non-core manual processing functions, such as overnight documentary examination.

GTR is an international trade finance magazine, read by and featuring the market's key banks, credit insurers, corporates, traders, law firms, brokers and consultants. Full coverage of the 2014 awards will appear in the magazine's January/February issue.

This award was one of many received by BNY Mellon's Treasury Services business in 2014. Those included best transactional bank for financial institutions in Europe, the Middle East and Africa from EMEA Finance; best bank trade services provider from Trade & Forfaiting Review; and best white label system provider for treasury & cash management services from Global Finance Magazine.
