The Bank of New York Mellon was established in 2007 with the merger of Mellon Financial Corporation and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. According to the Fortune 500 annual ranking of the largest U.S. corporations, Bank of New York Mellon was the country’s eight largest U.S. commercial bank in 2007.

Bank of New York Mellon’s headquarters are New York, NY. In early October the bank was named by the Treasury Department to oversee the $700 billion Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP). In addition to overseeing TARP, the bank is also receiving $3 billion from the Treasury’s capital purchase program under TARP, which is controversial to many. On June 9, 2009, Bank of New York Mellon returned the funds in full.
