Emergency services were called to 25 Bank Street at around 8am this morning following reports of a man falling from the 500ft building and landing on a ninth floor roof.
The man, who is believed to be in his 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene, the Metropolitan Police said.
"We believe we know the identity of the deceased but we await formal identification", a police spokesman said. Police have also confirmed that the death is not being treated as suspicious.
London Ambulance Service and London Air Ambulance were called to the scene and an area around the building has been cordoned off.
Workers in other buildings nearby tweeted their shock at the death. One wrote: "It's not a nice view from my building. The body is on the rooftop of level 9. So sad."
"The body is still lying there though. We are baffled as to why."
Another wrote: "A sorry view from my desk opposite. Still nobody approaching the body, very odd."
A London Ambulance Service spokesman said: "We were called at 8.04am to Bank Street to reports of a person fallen from a height.
"We sent one ambulance crew, a duty officer, our hazardous area response team and London Air Ambulance to the scene.
"Sadly, a man in his 30s was pronounced dead at the scene."
The building in London's financial district has been the headquarters of the bank's Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) operation since July 2012, according to the company's website.
