BNY Mellon has posted a net income of $991m for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 10% compared to $901m a year ago.

However, total revenue for the quarter ended 30 June 2021 decreased 1% to $3.96bn.

Fee revenue rose by 4% to $3.22bn but net interest revenue plunged 17% to $$645m due to lower interest rates on interest-earning assets.

The banking group’s assets under custody and/or administration (AUC/A) stood at $45 trillion, which represents a surge of 21%.

Assets under management (AUM) increased 18% to $2.3 trillion.

BNY Mellon CEO Todd Gibbons said: “We delivered another strong quarter with EPS of $1.13 on $4bn of revenue, and generated returns on common equity and tangible common equity of 10% and 19%.  Fee revenue was up 4%, or 10% excluding the impact of money market fee waivers, reflecting the benefit of higher market levels as well as continued organic growth, driven by higher client activity levels and net new business momentum.
