The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY Mellon) and Mizuho Bank, Ltd., a subsidiary of Mizuho Financial Group and one of the largest global financial institutions, have announced a groundbreaking partnership to expand correspondent bank network connectivity for international trade.
In today’s complex regulatory environment, banks face increased costs and complexity due to stringent know-your-customer (KYC) and compliance requirements. This has often limited banks’ cross-border trade opportunities. However, the new alliance between BNY Mellon and Mizuho Bank aims to overcome these hurdles, offering clients access to a wider trade network and smoother international transactions.
The partnership, powered by BNY’s Trade Network Access Service, will streamline trade services, reduce compliance challenges, and provide frictionless access to each institution’s vast trade networks. This agreement represents a non-competing collaboration, especially beneficial for corporate clients in Asia, without requiring substantial investments in new trade infrastructure by either bank.
Tsutomu Yamamoto, Managing Executive Officer at Mizuho Bank, emphasized that this collaboration will help clients tap into new trade opportunities and better manage risks amid global supply chain disruptions. Jennifer Barker, Global Head of Treasury Services at BNY Mellon, highlighted the importance of cross-border trade in driving economic growth and the value of enhanced trade finance solutions for businesses.
This strategic collaboration is set to boost global trade growth, offering clients expanded opportunities in the international market.
