About JP Morgan Chase & Co
History of the company [1]
JP Morgan Chase & Co was officially formed with the 2000 merger between Chase Manhattan Corporation and JP Morgan & Co Incorporated. The firm is built on the foundation of more than 1,200 predecessor institutions, several of which were instrumental in the development of the United States economy as well as the global financial system.
Besides Chase Manhattan and JP Morgan & Co, other well-known heritage firms include Bank One, Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co., Chemical Bank, The First National Bank of Chicago, National Bank of Detroit, The Bear Stearns Companies Inc., Robert Fleming Holdings, Cazenove Group and the business acquired in the Washington Mutual transaction.
Some of the firm’s notable mergers in the past 20 years include the 2004 acquisition of Bank One. In 2008, following the subprime mortgage crisis, JP Morgan Chase took over Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual as part of a deal to stabilise the global financial system.
Shortly after in 2010, the firm achieved full ownership of its U.K. joint venture, J.P. Morgan Cazenove, with origins dating to 1823.
