In 1974, Bessemer Trust Company's developed expertise allowed it to take on other clients through the creation of a national bank headquartered in New York City. In 1985, the business expanded to the Cayman Islands and the following year opened an office in London, England. In the mid 1990s, Bessemer Trust opened California branch offices in Los Angeles and San Francisco then in 2001 in Dallas, Texas.

The current Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bessemer Trust is the great grandson of Henry Phipps, Stuart S. Janney, III, who succeeded Ogden Mills Phipps in 1994.
