At BNY Mellon, our mission is to empower our clients, institutions and leaders to succeed across the financial world, and we are proud to build on our legacy of trust and innovation in the region," he added.
SNB Capital CEO Rashed Sharif said: "Our leading role in growing and developing the kingdom's capital markets and the financial sector in line with Vision 2030 is highly dependent on having the right technology, capabilities and partners."
"This deployment reinforces our top market position when it comes to serving the complex data management and reporting needs of institutions and large asset owners in the Kingdom. The strength of our partnership with BNY Mellon will be a driver for continued growth in our Custody and Asset Servicing business," stated Sharif.
BNY Mellon's data management platform, which aims to accelerate the optimization of typically manual investment workflows, will offer SNB Capital's clients in the Kingdom significant opportunities to improve their performance through enhanced data flows.
