NEW YORK, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BNY, a global financial services company, today announced that it will change the ticker symbol for the common stock of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation from "BK" to "BNY".
The company expects its common stock to begin trading under the new ticker symbol, BNY, on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") effective May 21, 2026.
Founded in 1784 by Alexander Hamilton, BNY has been at the center of financial markets innovation for more than two centuries and in 1792, it was the first company traded on what would become the New York Stock Exchange. Today, BNY is supporting the next era of financial markets and accelerating its strategy to unlock growth. The BNY ticker symbol aligns the company's market identity more closely with its brand, strategic direction, and ambition. The company will celebrate the change by ringing the Closing Bell at the NYSE on May 21, 2026.
"BNY has long stood for trust, resilience and our central role in global capital markets. As we continue reimagining ourselves as a financial services platforms company for the future, changing our ticker to BNY reflects who we are today and where we're headed," said Robin Vince, CEO of BNY. "We're proud of our history, focused on the future, and always committed to delivering for our clients and helping them navigate what's next."
As part of this change, the ticker symbol representing interests in BNY's Series A Preferred Stock will change from "BK/P" to "BNY/P", and the ticker symbol representing interests in its Series K Preferred Stock will change from "BK PRK" to "BNY PRK".
No action is required by current securityholders with respect to the ticker symbol changes. Outstanding stock certificates, if any, will remain valid and will not need to be exchanged solely as a result of this change. Shares held in book-entry form or through a bank, broker, or other nominee will automatically reflect the new ticker symbol.
BNY's common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE, as will BNY's other listed securities identified above. The change in ticker symbols will not affect the company's legal name, capital structure, CUSIPs or the rights of securityholders.
