While The Bank of New York Mellon's (NYSE: BK) earnings report wasn't particularly exciting one way or another as it pretty well fell in line with expectations, Motley Fool financial analyst Matt Koppenheffer feels that can be a good thing.

In this video, Matt gives us a few other reasons to be positive on the bank.
