SINGAPORE, Mar 21 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ -- 
 
           Trophy seals a BNY Mellon hat trick of awards in seven days 
 
    The Bank of New York Mellon received top industry recognition at The Asset 
magazine's Triple A Transaction Banking Awards 2009 last night scooping the title 
of 'Best Global Custodian' in Asia. 
 
    This latest accolade culminates a phenomenal week for BNY Mellon Asset 
Servicing. The company has been awarded three trophies in seven days 
including "Global Custodian of the Year" in Asia Asset Management magazine's 
2008 'Best of the Best' Awards last Friday, and "Custodian of the Year" in 
the Global Pensions Awards 2009, held in London on Tuesday evening. 
 
    "Three awards in seven days is an incredible achievement," said Chong Jin 
Leow, head of Asia, BNY Mellon Asset Servicing. "It's certainly a tribute, 
not only to my team, but to our philosophy of client focus and service 
excellence."

partner who can help them grow their businesses by enhancing efficiency, 
reducing costs, allowing greater flexibility and mitigating risk. We are part 
of the solution. We will continue to do what we do best, deliver outstanding 
client service, invest in cutting-edge technology, pioneer new innovative 
products and attract and retain the best talent the industry has to offer," 
added Leow.
