Bank of New York Mellon Corp. on Monday said it named Todd Gibbons as chief executive, removing the interim tag he has carried since last fall.

Mr. Gibbons took the helm of the New York bank in October after Charles Scharf resigned as chairman and CEO to become president and CEO of Wells Fargo & Co.

BNY said Mr. Gibbons, 63 years old, "has performed exceptionally" during his interim stint, adding that the board conducted a comprehensive search over a number of months for a successor to Mr. Scharf.

The longtime BNY executive joined the bank in 1986.

BNY said Joseph Echevarria, a board member since February 2015, will continue to serve as independent chairman. Mr. Echevarria, who stepped in as chairman when Mr. Scharf left, retired in 2014 as CEO of accounting giant Deloitte LLP.
