NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pershing X, a technology provider and new business unit of BNY Mellon | Pershing, and Conquest Planning (Conquest), a financial planning technology start-up, have announced they will work together to integrate Conquest's financial planning application into the Pershing X platform.
