Total revenue for the third quarter reached $5.08 billion, a 9% increase compared to $4.65 billion in the third quarter of 2024, driven by a rise in both fee and net interest income.
In comparison to the previous quarter, BNY Mellon’s net income decreased slightly from $1.39 billion, while total revenue increased marginally from $5.03 billion. The company’s fee and other revenue rose to $3.85 billion, up from $3.60 billion a year earlier, primarily due to higher investment services fees and increased client activity. Net interest income also saw a significant increase of 18% year-over-year, totaling $1.24 billion, attributed to the reinvestment of maturing securities at higher yields and overall balance sheet growth.
Strategically, BNY Mellon has made notable organizational changes, including the election of Robin Vince as Chairman of the Board, effective September 1, 2025. The company also increased its quarterly cash dividend by 13% to $0.53 per share, reflecting a commitment to returning capital to shareholders.

Operationally, BNY Mellon reported assets under custody and/or administration (AUC/A) of $57.8 trillion, an 11% increase from the previous year, driven by net client inflows and higher market values. The company’s assets under management (AUM) remained stable at $2.1 trillion. The total employee headcount decreased to 49,200 from 52,600 a year earlier, reflecting ongoing efficiency measures. The company’s capital ratios remained strong, with a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 11.7% as of September 30, 2025, up from 11.2% at the end of 2024.
Looking ahead, BNY Mellon anticipates continued growth in revenue driven by client activity and market conditions, although it acknowledges potential challenges from economic fluctuations and regulatory changes.
