BNY may approach Northern Trust in the future with a formal bid, however it may not result in a transaction, the report added.
BNY has a market cap of $65.55 billion while Northern Trust has a market cap of $21.76 billion, according to LSEG.
In May, BNY received a license to set up a regional headquarters in Saudi Arabia, joining other banks lured by incentives as the kingdom seeks to boost its appeal as a financial hub.
Bank of New York Mellon declined to comment, while Northern Trust did not immediately respond to Reuters request for comment.
