Great Place to Work Institute Ireland Recognises BNY Mellon Among the 'Best Workplaces in Ireland'

DUBLIN, March 18, 2010 - BNY Mellon, the global leader in asset management and securities
servicing, has been recognised as one of the 'Best Workplaces in Ireland' by
Great Place to Work Institute Ireland. The 2010 Awards were announced on
Wednesday 24th February at The Burlington Hotel, Dublin.

Each year, the Great Place to Work Institute Ireland works with the Irish
Independent newspaper to conduct the Best Workplaces in Ireland study. More
than 100 organisations with a combined workforce of over 50,000 took part in
the study, widely recognised as Ireland's largest annual labour force survey.
The research sets out to identify and recognise the most trusted employers,
and therefore the most satisfied workforces in Ireland.

"This honour is based on the opinions of people who are in the best
position to judge - our employees," said Joe Duffy, Country Executive for
Ireland at BNY Mellon. "It is our exceptional team that delivers the high
quality service we are known for, so it is good to know that they value the
culture here and the programmes we have put in place to make this a great
place to work."

BNY Mellon opened its first office in Ireland in 1994. Since then, the
services provided by the business have become core to the securities
servicing business of BNY Mellon, with Ireland evolving as a major centre for
the company's offshore fund business. It currently has over 1,200 employees
in Ireland, located in Dublin and Cork.
