How it started

History

J.P. Morgan's founder is J. Pierpont Morgan. His father, Junius Spencer Morgan, was in the merchant banking business in London from 1854 until his death in 1890. In 1873, the Scottish American Investment Trust, a predecessor firm (Robert Fleming & Co. was sold to Chase Manhattan in 2000), was formed. In 1887, Jarvis-Conklin Mortgage Trust Company opened in London, and through a series of mergers and reorganizations, this firm became part of Chase Bank.

The bank joined CHAPS in 2010.

The company provided the Post Office card account between 2006 and 2022, acquired investment bank Cazenove in 2010 and acquired London based online investment firm Nutmeg in June 2021. JPMorgan Chase launched a retail banking operation in the UK in September 2021 under the Chase UK brand name.
