NEW YORK, Sept. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- BNY Mellon, a global leader in investment management and investment services, announced today that it has signed a reseller agreement with Early Warning Services, the network operator of the Zelle Network®. BNY Mellon is the first bank to resell tokenized payment capabilities to its own financial institution clients, thereby continuing its role as an industry innovator in payments.

Tokenized Payments solutions, such as Zelle, eliminate the need for clients to store or process payees' bank account information, and provide a fast, secure, convenient and digital consumer experience. They also eliminate the cost and hassle associated with physical checks and traditional payment options, which take longer and cost more to process.

Corporate banking customers have increasingly demanded access to tokenized solutions to reduce issues with cost, speed, and the overall payments experience. With BNY Mellon, banks can more quickly deliver the value of Zelle to their corporate banking customers and with less investment than developing their own solution.

"This new reseller agreement is part of our strategy to help accelerate payment innovation by lowering the barriers for banks to deliver it," said Tony Brady, Digital Platform Officer (DPO) for BNY Mellon's Treasury Services business. "In turn, banks can 'pay it forward' to their clients. It's part of the responsibility we take on as a leader in modernizing the global payment ecosystem."

The reseller offering will allow BNY Mellon's financial institution clients to help businesses make payments to consumers in a wide range of disbursements scenarios, including rebates, refunds, claims, account distributions, expense reimbursements, and payroll. As a result, each bank's corporate banking clients attain the benefits of lower end-to-end cost and improved transparency and timeliness of payments, reinforcing the value of their relationship with their bank.
